OOOOOOOPS! maybe I got the name wrong...what's the name of the little panda? Maybe I'd better go the Panda cam and see!

back & chearyshe, so glad you found the thread & happy to see you again ~his name is Po & he was 5 mos. old on the 4th~and is named after the panda hero in the animated current panda movies. He is adorable and already quite a climber & charmer & here is his brother

Panda Cub Update

Wednesday, April 6
Hello! I thought maybe I should introduce myself - my name is Jen and I'm the newest member to the carnivore staff here at Zoo Atlanta! I have spent the last year or so interning and working as a seasonal keeper in other departments and am thrilled to finally call the panda building my home! Learning the routine here in pandas is a lot of hard work, but getting to work with pandas makes everything worth it! The pandas and I are spending a lot of time getting to know each other. It seems Po and I have a lot in common; we're both rookies and are learning all about our new home together! Speaking of Po, the little cub is getting stronger every day. His favorite place these days seems to be the hammock. 'When in doubt, find the hammock' seems to be his motto!

Good morning, Panda Pals! Welcome back Chearyshe! Po is in the hammock room hanging out on the hammock frame. Looks like he's going to go to sleep. Awwwww.

Well, little Po didn't rest long. He took a leap of faith and went for the hammock. Here are some scenes:

Po went off to think about his tactics for a moment and when he tried a second time - success!

I'm just laughing at him, because once he made it to the hammock he stayed about 30 seconds and back to the frame.



Oh man, he's just sooo cute.

Lonette enjoyed your sweet Po-action s'caps

this video is from yesterday afternoon, when he did a flip over the tie, and then swung from it a few seconds, give this panda a trapeze
