Those claws are really something, aren't they? It makes such an interesting picture when you see that tiny cub cradled in that huge paw, with the threatening claws in sight.

I did check in once when the camera was zoomed right in on Mom and little one - but it was so close it was hard to tell what was what. All I could tell for sure was one little paw with mighty long claws on it!

BirdLover, the cam really is zooming in, at least occasionally, when Bai Yun leaves the den -- just today, I managed to catch a couple of good cub-only views. The problem is how to check in at the right moment, and usually I'm not that lucky!

 :o Holy Sheep Dip  :o  I haven't seen this little one for four days and WOW, has it ever grown!!

It sure does look like a tiny panda now.  Bai Yun is obviously doing a great job.  Wish the camera was still zooming in when she goes out of the den.

Thanks, Carly -- those are great photos! The view on the cam right now is good, too -- cub tucked safely in mama's paws.

Got to see the "cutie petutie" this afternoon. What a thrill! Thanks for the link, carly! :D And very interesting info, about a baby panda's tail being re-absorbed into it's spinal column, moka. I didn't know that either! 8)
