Okay, I've been watching Momma Panda and her little one

[SammyWinstonJack]

on and off all day. I am amazed how attentive she is. How she snuggles him. How she holds him. How she watches over him. I am grateful to be able to view this. It is a sight to behold.

6. Sometimes you can't see the little one because Mom is

snuggling him. But I keep watching, can't help myself. It's the cutest thing ever!

and she was gazing at him with a look of absolute awe and devotion.

15. That is one happy momma panda! She is so attentive.

Her name is Mei Xiang, (pronounced may-SHONG) which means "beautiful fragrance". Awww! She just rolled over on her back with the little guy in her cuddly black and white embrace.
