It's great. Mama panda at the National Zoo, with a little itty bitty larval panda. It's really really cute.

1. I was at the zoo over memorial weekend and saw her before the birth
The zoo guide said they can't tell if pandas are really pregnant until they actually give birth.

Fascinating creatures...

2. Yeah, they are fascinating....
Our female panda in Atlanta is under "birth watch" until mid-August. She was artificially inseminated back in March or April, IIRC. So far, last I heard they have no clue if she's pregnant or not.

But wow! The National Zoo's newborn panda has grown significantly since I last saw it! It seems like the little guy (or gal!) is doing quite well...

3. I thought the baby cheetahs were equally exciting

The four of them were outside when I was there, hanging out with their mom.



Here's the cheetah cams:
