Panda Cub Update

Friday, June 10

We have had extremely hot weather here in Atlanta for the past two weeks, so the pandas have not been able to go outside. The pandas do not like to go outside when it is above 75 degrees, and recently it has been above that when the keepers arrive at 7:00 a.m. However, this last week, the mornings have been slightly cooler, so we have been working on getting Lun Lun and Po out in the habitat to help Po get more accustomed to being outside. So far, Po has not been very comfortable in the outdoor habitats, and the first day we tried them outside this week, he wouldn’t even go out with Lun Lun. But by Thursday, he started venturing slightly away from his mother. I saw him playing on and underneath the climbing structure and he checked out the cave. Every year the summer heat prevents us from using the habitats, but hopefully, by the time the temperatures are cooler, Po will have grown more confident and not mind having new adventures.

Panda Cub Updates

Monday, June 13

Po is turning into one feisty little cub! I wasn't working in the department when Xi Lan and Mei Lan were growing up, but from I hear, they weren't quite as feisty as little Po is getting. Not that he's so little anymore - he's pushing 13.5 kg! I remember when I first started here and he was less than half his current weight. Seeing him every day, it's hard to notice any big changes but it dawned on me a couple of days ago just how big he's gotten! And much more bolder and confident with the keepers as well. Usually, if he's on the structure in dayroom 1 - snoozing or awake - we'll go in and clean up the area after shifting Lun Lun out. He usually does a good job of staying up there but he definitely follows our every movement now and it almost looks like he's contemplating coming down to see if we want to play. This is why we make a point of giving him a piece of bamboo to play with to keep him occupied while we're in there cleaning. Which is probably a good thing because when Po's in the mood, he can move really fast for a 7 month old cub!

& Pandalover19 for fun play videos, & precious s'caps
Po is already a formidable force at 7 months :blink:, what will he be in a few more months
also for the updates, I can just imagine him thinking about going after the keepers, he is such a doll

...up on his structure. The cam was freezing, but it showed some of his graceful positions, and close-up. He is quite a climber. {When I checked cam today, saw Po napping a few times,


and nursing in the hammock, at almost noon eastern time

& then cam not working for me off & on too }
