Well the panda cub received his name today. He is Yun Zi, or son cloud or cloud son, I can't remember.  This is the first time the name I voted for got chosen.  It was a very close race between little dragon and the one that was chosen.  May the son of cloud grow up to be a big strong panda and continue the magnifcant conservation work the USA and China are doing to help panda's survive extinction.

Here, here eagle!!  ;)

black and white just like his mom ... and dad ... and aunts and uncles, grandparents, great-grandparents and fourth cousins-in-law, nine times removed ....  ::) :D

True, his wardrobe doesn't change much -- but he's still a sweetie (as are all baby animals!).

It's a great name, isn't it, Eagle? It was my choice, too, although I was pleasantly surprised at the five choices -- all were good names. And what a gorgeous little critter he's growing into!

Wasn't he adorable??!!  I must have watched it at leat 7 times last night and love the bark!!  They bark when they are annoyed and upset apparently.  The bleat when they are happy as a way of greeting.   :-*

Had no idea pandas barked. And after just little squeaks! I would expect maybe a growl, but a bark? And he was certainly much more awake this time - at some of the earlier exams he almost slept through them. Definitely our little guy is growing up!

Isn't he a sweetie? I laughed to read the blog of the PR officer who had difficulty observing the previous examination without oohing and aaaahing -- easy to understand her dilemma! I was just watching him with Bai Yun and find it difficult to believe how much he's grown. Fourteen weeks isn't really that long to progress from a pink and hairless blob to the adorable baby panda he is now. And his naming ceremony is on Tuesday -- wonder which name won?

The little panda cub had his latest exam yesterday.  What a surprise when the little cutie barked!  He sounded just like my dog, but he is so much cuter than my dog - and boy, did he ever show an independent spirit during this exam!

Did you notice that the names are up for voting? Voting ends on Tuesday so, if you want a say in the new panda's name, be sure to vote soon!
