Awww, how sweet was that

I'm having a real problem trying to post today. I keep losing them. Pffft.

ANYWAY - thank you Diana for your wonderful posts and to PandaLover for the WONDERFUL videos of Po and Lun Lun.
This morning, they are both sleeping - Lun Lun in the hammock and Po in a pile of his Mama's boo.


Here is the update from ZA:
Wednesday, March 9
Po has quickly adjusted to the dayroom exhibit. He is quite comfortable in there with or without his mother. Mei Lan and Xi Lan both preferred the den areas when they first started going out in the exhibits. Almost as soon as they were out in the dayroom, they would leave and go back to the familiar space of the dens. Po just prefers to be with Lun Lun and seems satisfied that if she put him somewhere, that must be an ok place to be, especially if she is there too. Lun Lun also seems much more at ease with Po in the dayroom than she was with either of her previous cubs. As we have mentioned here frequently, she is such a confident mother now and she knows the dayroom is safe and secure for Po. Po’s current weight is 6.7 kg.

I hope PandaLover is recording, 'cause Po and Lun Lun are in the hammock.
Lun woke Po up and wanted him to nurse. Po said no way and made an escape attempt. A couple in fact. Lun Lun then trapped him. He's not a happy camper right now. LOLOLOL

In this scappie, Po is kicking like mad to get loose. LOLOL


I think Lun Lun is finally giving up. Oops they just switched the cam

Oh Boy! I think this is Yang - I haven't seen him for ages.

Here are a couple of more s'caps of Yang and then it's time for me to get to work.



ETA: We're getting a treat today. Even though you can barely see him, here is Big Brudder Xi Lan!!!

Lonette for all the gr8 s'caps and cam happenings you did get a better view of Lan, that was him eating boo, too, where he left right after that for the nap~it is amazing how big he is getting:blink: & even has the stain on backside like Yang, here is the video & you can see Lun playing with Po in the window behind Lan

ZA Cub Update

Friday, March 11
Paws! Paws! Paws! When Lun Lun is not around and Po wants to play he goes with what he has- his paws! It is very cute to see him lying on his back, wiggling all four feet around, and biting on one or two. This solitary play likely helps with muscle development and coordination and it’s just plain fun! It is a common behavior shown by panda cubs at this age.
