they had the cam on Bai Yun in the den for awhile and she was almost standing on her head...kinda like the falcons do before they lay an egg  :-X  and then she started digging in her boo bed and then she started burying herself in it and the cam has now switched to little zhen zhen outside.

Birth watch is officially on!  That means the 24/7 watch has begun now...apparently the fetus has grown considerably and although they can't predict a date...they did say early August which it now is and given Su and ZZ were born yesterday and today 4 and 2 years ago respectively...the time is near!!

My goodness.  I used to have my screen full of Peregrine cams, now it's Panda cams.  It is just so cool to be able to see this stuff in my own home.  I am watching all the time.  Thanks for telling us about these sites.

Calling all panda lovers, at 9 pacific time, the sdz is celebrating the birthdays of their two girls.

We are celebrating the birthdays of pandas Su Lin and Zhen Zhen on Monday, August 3. Ice "cakes" will be offered to each panda girl at 9 a.m. Come watch the fun at the Zoo or here on the Panda Cam!

Happy watching!

Zhen Zhen was eating supper but now she's gone walkabout...

Is she not the sweetest panna teenager !!  I love her and Mei Lan and XI Lan...oh and let's not forget Tai Shan!  I will hate when they have to go back to their native land.  I wasn't around when Mei Sheng grew up and then left but I did read back through all the archives and saw the photos.  I also saw some recent photos of him on flickr posted by a girl who lives over there and she went to visit and got photos of both him and Hua Mei - they look really good and healthy!

My favorite though is Gao Gao...that panda just has the sweetest face in the world.  He reminds of a little boy... here is a great photo of him from a few weeks ago I found online rolling in wood chips!  Rita has some great photos of all the SDZ pandas and she documented ZZ's weaning too...some of the photos are so touching so be warned...you may need Kleenex if you look at those.
