Panda News

If, like me, you're fascinated with the birth of the new baby panda at the San Diego Zoo, here's where you want to be. This weblog is updated by the zoo staff to report on what's going on around the facility and there are many postings about the little black-eyed new arrival. The zoo has many webcams around to satiate your voyeuristic tendencies and on this page, you can usually see a panda taking a nap or eating. Most often — since this her den is where the news is — it's Bai Yun, mother of the new kid. Supposedly, one can catch occasional glimpses of the baby. My mother had the same kind of set-up when I was born but since there was no Internet in 1952, no one watched.
