There must not be anybody to man the zoom button on the weekends.  Last night and this morning Bai left the den to eat and left the little guy exposed for quite some time.  But, no close ups.  Still good to see him squirming around and I can just imagine that he is hollering up a storm while mum is away.

I noticed yesterday she barely left the den and just slept with him/her cuddled up next to her.  Same scene this morning too..she's such a great mom!  I think this is the longest they've ever gone without getting a chance to examine the cub - she's not letting go of this one  :-* :-*

Aw, they are so cute all snuggled up together.  Looks like Bai is holding her little teddy bear while she sleeps. 

I just love that she doesn't keep him so close now and we get great shots of him!

Awwwwww . . . thanks, eagle -- these little glimpses while Bai Yun is away don't always last long!

I just checked in to the webcam and the camera is zoomed in on the little one. It was on it's back and is now on it's stomach, sleeping.

Oh, and such a round little tummy -- Bai Yun is keeping her little one well fed anyway.

That camera certainly gets personal, doesn't it??? Poor little guy has no privacy at all. Carly, your first description -- "wee bits" -- is definitely accurate!  ;D

They did a zoom in of his ...err...wee bits.. earlier and if I had any doubts that it was a boy..I don't now  ;D  Unless it's some sort of weird panda birth mark...I don't know much about panda anatomy  :-\

Baby panda is all alone right now -- great close-up of the tiny critter, looking more and more like a panda.
