Yun Zi in his new enclosure
Our morning began with getting their exhibit cleaned and prepared for Yun Zi, making sure that there was nothing that he could possibly get hurt on or stuck in. We then got the back classroom area, which had been used by Bai Yun and Yun Zi each morning, ready for big sister Zhen Zhen’s move. On her way through the tunnel system to the classroom, Zhen came across a scent that was quite familiar: her mother. Right as Zhen walked by Bai Yun’s back bedroom, where Mom and cub have been residing for the past six months, she became very curious, and it took a little more encouragement on our part to get her past that area. Eventually Zhen Zhen made it to the classroom exhibit door, and she seemed very excited to be in a new area.
After Zhen Zhen was secure in the classroom, we began the move with Bai Yun and Yun Zi. Bai Yun has always been very easy to move, and she was eager to see where she was being directed to. She began walking down the tunnel, and sure enough, little Yun Zi did a wonderful job of following his mother.
We are so pleased with how everything went this morning, but we do have some things that everyone needs to be aware of. Bai Yun and Yun Zi will have access to the bedroom attached to their new exhibit space, and later in the day, access to their bedroom in the back. So at this time we are not promising a view of the cub; in fact, there is a chance that there will be days when Yun Zi stays inside the bedroom. This is something that we have gone through with other cubs, and we expect to get through this transition with little difficulty and a short period of time!

How exciting! Can’t wait to see Yun Zi on exhibit!
Thanks so much on the updates. Love watching the panda’s everyday and seeing them explore their areas.
Anastasia, Do you think ZZ remembers her Mother, and was looking for her? I was just curious.
It seems the little guy was happy, I guess as long as Mom is there he is a happy boy.
Great job on the logistic of moving everyone!
How exciting! I haven’t seen either one yet, but look forward to seeing them exploring and playing and napping in the new area. And Zhen Zhen gets a “new” area too! How fun for all of them and for us Panda addicts also! Thanks…
Everyone deserves a little privacy…thanks for the update.
Yippee!!! So glad to hear this and see them come spring. Am looking sooooo forward to it.
Will ZZ still be on exhibit???
Moderator’s note: Although she is in the classroom area, that exhibit is now closed to public viewing.
Great article, very descriptive of “Moving in Day”!
Is the “Back Bedroom”, the area that they have used for sleeping in the past?
Will Yun Zi have a hard time falling asleep at night in new surroundings?
Of course, what am I thinking ? The Little Guy never seems to have trouble sleeping.
My daughter, who brought Yun Zi into my life, just gave me a birthday gift of a Lladro Panda Cub.
Just like Yun Zi … he’s sniffing a flower. Now I’ll have Little One with me forever.
The San Diego Panda Crew has really been good for my morale during this snowy winter.
Snow’s beautiful….driving isn’t !
Loved all the blogs and videos over the entire year.
Moderator’s note: Yes, “the bedroom is the back” is where Yun spent his early months.
What is the best viewing time, morning or afternoon? I will be visiting tomorrow and want to make sure I see him since he has been my baby for so long! I hope he comes out tomorrow…..
Moderator’s note: Beginning this week the cub will now be visible until noon. The time will be extended slowly until he has graduated to being on exhibit for the whole day.
Great pic of ‘Little Cloud’. He has his “I wonder” expression on. Like, “I wonder how far it is to the ground.” His willingness to follow right behind his mother shows he’s not really as independent as he wants people to think. (Also, nice to know Zhen Zhen remembers the scent of her mother.)
Thank You Anastasia! Right now Yun Zi is in his tree sound asleep. He must have worn himself out exploring this morning
Also, I thought it was neat that Zhen Zhen remembered Bai’s scent. You realize, of course, that now panda fans will be asking more ‘scent questions’ 
Also, we will be very curious about how Zhen Zhen reacts to the unfamiliar scent of her brother as she reaclimates to the classroom. 
how sad to see our little man way up high in a tree.
these cubbies just grow too fast.
sob, sob.

painted post, n.y.
While I was enjoying the beach yesterday, I imagined what a great time Bai Yun and Yun Zi would have playing in the sand and the waves………I don’t imagine they are allowed to go on “field trips”.
Where is my girl Su Lin? I can’t find her listed in any of the areas. Please please don’t tell me she’s gone !!!
Moderator’s note: She’s still in her “normal” exhibit, on Cams 1, 2, and 3 as noted on the Panda Cam page.
How exciting for Yun Zi – a whole huge area to explore
But unless my eyes are deceiving me both Bai & Yun Zi are HIGH UP in a tree – 
All Bai’s cubs seem to have her climbing instincts 
Good luck to those who are hoping to see Yun ZI – just look up 
Zhen got scent of her mother-that must have been hard for her!!! I’m curious if she wonders of moms roommate??(or if she wiffed another scent,,like a brother??) I am glad to hear that all is well in pandaland as i hope and wish to get ther soon and visit Yun Zi and company…
Well, he certainly seems to be enjoying the tree already…I can’t tell how high up it is, but he’s up there. Has there ever been a cub who climbed up and couldn’t get down so that someone had to go get him/her? It’s obvious they are “born” to do this, but I just wondered if that’s ever happened. Thanks again for all the wonderful information.
I am taking friends from Florida to view Yun Zi perhaps on Monday….when its suppose to rain a bit. I don’t care for weekend crowds. I hope all goes well and he will be out and about. I figure he sleeps until about 11 AM and then he moves around until noon.
No point in getting in there when the zoo opens after watching the clock and seeing when he is truly active. Watching the clock he has been awake more after 11 AM.
Last time he was sleeping around 9:15 AM. when I was there.
Oh please excuse my panic. I looked again and she’s right where she was in her regular area. Thank Heavens.
And Madame Bai and baby are already up in the trees in the main area. OK now I can relax and enjoy the beautiful panda cams. Thanks SDZ for the enjoyment you give us all.
I guess – just like all our children – they grow up so fast. Love these marvelous animals. Thanks for all the updates.
Yun Zi sure enjoyed the new environment. I notice that by 3 PM he is high up in the tree fast asleep just like his sisters and brother before him. You may not get as good a view of him now, not because he is in the bedroom, but because he has access to climb high in the trees where Panda cubs his age naturally go during the day. Bai Yun seemed to be happy to be back in her old haunt too. Enrichment for everyone. Has Su Lin finished the hearing test? I am guessing not since she is still in the front exhibit and therefore more accessible. I am happy to hear that Zhen Zhen did recognize her mother’s scent and responded to it. I am curious how much she could tell that there was a young male cub with her mother or not.
Moderator’s note: The hearing study is still in full swing.
I just looked at the camera and was astounded to see how HIGH Yun Zi has climbed. Does Mama Bai try to limit his exploring when the climbing opportunities are so high?????
As Dennis has Quoted Bob Dylan in the past “times are a changing” Grammie you are too funny and so enjoyable. Gosh, how far we have all come since August when our lilltle Yunior was born and brought all of us together. How much has happened. All the wonderful milestones we have shared, thanks to our friends at SDZ. I know I share this sentiment with you all that we have had an opportunity of a life time. DoxeyMom, P. wong, Pamela G. and others who have made this experience even better. How much joy this has brought to so many of us. Yes many have shared saddness that has been brought to there lives. but to know a little Panda cub could bring joy where sorrow exsist is an amazing thing when you think about it. Shared well wishes extended because we share a common intrest in a black and white furry butt. A butt that brings joy. What a concept. LOL.
What a fun day for YunZi, He will probaly wear himself out. Can hardly wait to see him this summer.
For a xmas my daughter gave me a stuff Panda. She made at make a bear. Of course you can guess
what his name is.
Can hardly wait to see him in his new digs.
lu
Thanks for the interesting post.
So the only bears on exhibit now that can be seen by the public are Bai, Yun and Su Lin? I was hoping to see ZZ when I make the trip down there sometime later this year.
Moderator’s note: That’s correct.
I just browsed through the recently added photos of Bai Yun and Yun Zi. They are lovely and wonderful! Thanks for posting them, and the photographer captured some of the tender mother-son moments!
What a happy move for them both, it’s exciting to read about how it went. Thank you very much!
Thank You for having the camera on Yun Zi all day. It was an adventure. “The Adventures of Yun Zi”. He is grown up, I guess, up there in his trees. Hugs for Yun Zi.
I just received a reply to my email inquiry, from FONZ, that they will try to get an update on Tai Shan posted this week. ZA has been posting one every day since Lani left, so I was getting pretty anxious.
Just love these “milestone” updates. So glad things went smoothly, and interesting to read about Zhen Zhen’s reaction to mom’s scent, then moves on to the next adventure. Seems lately when I check on Yun Zi he’s taking a nap. It’s a relaxing break no matter what he’s up to !
Yes I wish that we can hug him. He is so cute. And I can not wait to see mother and son.
And yes he growing up every moment.
I had the privelege of going to San Diego to see the little guy over Prez Day weekend! He’s much more active than he looks in the vids, and I think he’s chubbier, I don’t know, I have strong glasses. Anyway, any more info on when Su Lin will go to China (I’ll miss her so much!!!!)?
Well, I miss the warm weather, and I have to get out the snowblower again. Due to all of the snow, my panda cam time is very limited. And cam operator: can we see more of Bai & Yunior on the cam? Thanks!
Moderator’s note: No date yet for Su Lin’s move to China. And if the Panda Cam isn’t showing the cub, it’s probably because they are out of the camera’s view, so the Cam operator will try to show you another panda. I hope you don’t mind
Wow, it didn’t take Yun Zi long to reach new heights! : ) I didn’t notice any tree guards–are there any? I remember Zhen Zhen taking all of about 5 seconds to defeat her tree guards! That girl is a born explorer!
Thanks for the great post! SUCH A CUTE PICTURE!!!!!!!
;-)
I’m glad the pandas had a good time, Zhen Zhen is soooo adorable!!
Yes i also thank you for letting me see them both on the camera it makes me happy to see him grow.
Bai Yun of course must have liked going to a new area and at least Yun Zi followed his mom which made it easier for you. Yun Zi of course was busy checking out his new digs. He will sleep well tonight.
Thank you for all this wonderful information.
20 days and counting til I see the sweet panda boy! But I’m bummed that I can’t see ZZ too. I saw her last May, but that was before I learned so much about the pandas and fully appreciated the SD Zoo’s amazing work with them. Thanks SD Zoo for your thorough work of educating all of us – I appreciate you sharing all your knowledge with us.
Thank-You again Anastasia for letting us know about the new Black and White Furry Tree Frog on exhibit in the left area…….LOL….Yun Zi has followed his brother and sisters and taken to the heights to be able to stare down at us,his ground dwelling adoring fans and Pandarazzi…LOL…. Now we will see the fun of Yunior deciding to stay up in the heights unless he gets hungry….. Can’t wait to see the new expanding adventures of his Royal Cuteness as he follows in the tradition of only coming down when his schedule dictates like his siblings before him, or investigates the keepers while Bai Yun is out of the exhibit area while cleanup and meal setups are performed daily….LOL….
I just spoke with Lynn in her Hospital bed via telephone and said one word ” Treefrog” and she knew that Yunior was on exhibit and up in th trees already…With any luck her ordeal will soon be coming to an end and after 14+ monthes of Hospitalization is waiting for a release date at last…Again I want to thank all of the GPF’s Family and Friends for their concern and prayers these 14 months and now we will make plans to come and see Yunior when we have to visit her main Doctors in SoCal…
“Panda Peace on Earth , Goodwill to All Living Things……”
I see baby loves his new place, climbing high in the trees. I still get nervous. Is he able to sleep outdoors now? I see it is getting dark and I see Bai Yun but I cannot tell if he is out there with her. He is growing so quickly and always a joy to watch. I too loved the new photos posted, mom and baby appear to smile at each other when they play and have fun. I like how you mention that Bai seemed excited and follows easily. She seems like such an intelligent bear, does she seem to learn more than the others? I know she is older so I guess wiser! Thanks again for the post and thank you moderator for answering all of our questions!
Oh, I wish I were there to see him.
I saw a video on flickr of our little man climbing up a tall tree in his new exhibit he’s growing up so fast.
If anyone is wondering about how Fu Long is doing if you go to (pandasliveon) there is a little story and a picture. They also have a place you can click on and see more pictures of him and his new friend they are cute.
Is ZZ going to be confused and wonder where all her adoring fans are? It’s kind of sad that she will be out of sight. Suddently it’s becoming a very croweded place. Glad I saw ZZ this fall during a visit. Let’s make sure we don’t forget about her panda fans!
Well hopefully this means by the time the March celebration perhaps the hours on view will have been extended. How fun. Now if we can just make sure you have great weather–can’t ask for much more than that.
Yes–Field Trips are hard to organize. I have been trying to get one together for the Pandas and any Keepers, Staff, Vets, Workers, Etc. who wish to go up to our local “real” snow, but we found that so many from the Zoo wanted to go, that there were not enough busses to get them all up there. You know it takes a lot of Pandaholics to keep and eye on so many Keepers…I do not know how we would handle it. So many places like Zoos get a bit touchy if you misplace one of their people. We had numerous volunteers to take care of the Pandas, but many were not sure they could handle people.
I used to wonder where Queen Bai disappeared to for extended periods of time when Prince Fluffy-Butt would be looking for her in the den, often seeming as if he were vocalizing quite a bit. I thought she was taking a smoke and beer break-or something like that—-then for a few days I found out she was meeting Princess ZZ at the Garden Room Wall. Sometimes ZZ performed as mom looked on, there was a depression in the dirt on Princess ZZ’s side where she lay on her back and wiggled, other times they both sat at their “howdy gate” just spending time together with only wire mesh between them. I cannot tell you when I last took photos of them there together, but I have this lost file—-some of the photos may be saved whole (if they were taken before I figured out how to crop them on photobucket-that would be about the only way)…thank goodness I got about 10% uploaded before loosing the file. When I loose something I am way too good to actually ever find it again. So since their last “Whiff” of each other was within the last 3 months, probably, not unusual that it would be remembered……Love Grammmie
I just checked the Princess ZZ and Queen Bai photos were taken on Sept. 24, 2009 and realized how much I depend on you guys for what is happening today. I slept through the opening of the Olympics—today I slept through the whole daytime when the camera was on our little rock star. That is okay—I am hoping for videos if possible–if not I will get a snap of something everybody else missed, and we all share anyway.
We are up late tonight—I just looked in on the PancCam and could clearly see Bai having her midnight snack. (If she thinks it is near midnight she must be an East Coast Bear.) Who cares—I see her munching…back to the camera, in much the same ground spot ZZ might have used….Love Grammmie
Cutie, cutie, cutie!
I’m amazed that Bai Yun seemed to climb up so high in the tree with Yun Zi–I don’t remember seeing her do that with Miss ZZ. Maybe she did and we just didn’t see? Anyway–it’s lovely to be able to watch them in their new digs tonight. I’m still amazed at how different Yun Zi’s personality is from Zhen Zhen’s–though both are adorable–and how it shows so clearly in the photos.
Hope we’ll still get to see Zhennie on cam even though she’s off exhibit–she’s still my girl.
Thanks for my daily smiles. ☺
Love that baby boy and Mama ♥
I have a rainy day challenge for somebody in the mood. I just went through some of the photo galleries besides Yunior’s—we need a gallery added, or added to. I only started watching the day he was born. In the Gallery of The Research Station there are lovely pictures of Bai Yun with some of her cubs, and cubs by themselves, but nothing to tell us who they are. I think photos of Bai Yun with each of her cubs…just like the family albums would be really nice. We do not expect the whole family pictured together, since two of them are not in the USA anymore, but it wouldl be nice to see her with each cub…would it not?????? I do not expect Gao Gao to pose….but he will be proud knowing the rest of the family is there for us to enjoy……and I have some lovely wallpapers of him already even though they are not gallery photos……………Love Grammmie
CLAUDIA from Message # 143 Witten Feb. 12, 2010
It is not unusual for me to find anything when I AM NOT LOOKING FOR IT. When looking hard I could not locate it at all, tonight I was not thinking about it and found it right off. When I see you I will refund you a quarter. In the meantime if I did not post the photos of Bai holding Yunior like we hold our babies, and the stills from the Sunroom Baby Twirling you let me know and I will post them for you, and anyone else who happens upon them. I added a few other ones I had captured too, for your enjoyment…..Love Grammmie
It’s 11 p.m. SD time. I can see Bai sleeping on top of the “cave” but I don’t see Yunior anywhere. He’s probably up in the branches. This really brings back memories of when Bai and ZZ first came to the main exhibit.
Oooooh, how sad for ZZ. My heart bleeds for her. There was a study about pandas being more like dogs than humans. If this is the case, just like dogs, pandas never forget – ZZ remembers her mom Bai. And doubly sad for her that she knows Bai is around but cannot be reached… sob…sob…sob…
Maybe seeing Yun Zi at the Panda Convention will ease the pain.
Hello, panda fans; there is still time to join us. There will be a private tour – behind the scenes; a meet & greet the moderator, keepers, etc.; banquet; WAP tour; optional Saturday lunch, optional Friday meet & greet dinner, and other fun things.
You do not have to have a facebook account to read all about the convention. You just won’t be able to participate in the discussions. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&ref=mf&gid=272470520621 or search for Panda-fandom Worldwide.
Come join us at the Panda Convention!! We have 40 people who are ready to take the tour and Meet and Greet with Panda keepers. Any chance we can see ZZ? Hope more will join us….deadline way Monday, but I understand you can still get in by tomorrow…… Hey, he is growing up very fast…come see him NOW!
It’s probably been asked before but what can the cub see from so high up? Is he able to see the pandas in the other areas and can he see other parts of the zoo?
Moderator’s note: If he is high enough, he can look into the exhibit next door to see his sister Su Lin.
So Exciting. I have been following these cuties since birth day. Expect to be in CA in Oct and hopefully they will be loving the outdoors and put on a good show. This Cam has been the highlight of my day every day and now especially in the snowy Northeast.
You guys are doing a wonderful job.
Thanks.
Peace and love to you and your charges.
Just caught up on the last two blogs. Such great info: thanks!
Now that ZZ is off exhibit, will Gao Gao be back?
Moderator’s note: No, both Zhen and Gao are in off-exhibit areas right now.
Tiny (from previous blog) I think you are right Hua Mei seems to take after her dad… Especially in the ears.. and I think her face. I compared the picture on Pandas Live On to Shi Shi’s picture on this website… It would be interesting to know what her personality is like now that she’s an adult.
I finally saw Lin Ping get a wipe down. She must be a very clean panda. There has to be someone manning the panda cam 24/7 and I’ve seen the keepers at all hours. I like watching her and Mom wrestle. It’s nothing like watching Bai and Yunior.
Thank you for the update on Yunior’s 1st Day Out In A New Place. Funny, here I thought Yunior would be the one moseying along snifting at everything and it was ZhenZhen….
I am amazed at how you all pulled this move off, seemingly without effort….
The operation must have been enormous!
You all had to clean/scrub both enclosures,
while keeping the animals enclosed, fed, and safe from harm.
A day off with extra remuneration for you all would be grand!
If that doesn’t happen, a little hug with Little Cuddles sounds just fine.
Thanks for all that you do,
so that we all can have a closer view of our dear Pandas!
I just checked in on the cam 4 Pandas, did not see Yunior, but mother Bai is pacing for her breakfast. She must be the first one up in the morning. I was lucky enough to see her each time but 1 when I checked during the night. I can hardly wait to catch the Fluffy-Butt strolling around at night–but she must have made him stay inside….or I just couldn’t see him because the lighting is dim…but still enough to see Bia downing her boo….Love Grammmie
I was at their new location yesterday and unfortunately was unable to see Yun Zi or his mom BUT I did go on Valentine’s Day and was able to see the little squirt for THE FIRST TIME! So cute and adorable, more so than the panda cam gives justice too! I died he was so cute! Anyway, my husband bought me (us really) annual passes and I have been going every chance I can. I get there at 9am and walk straight to the Panda Exhibit (I didn’t know they were moving moved yesterday, so I was a little panicked for a few minutes when I didn’t see a line)–when I finally figured out that they weren’t going to be in their normal setting.
BTW, I love (LOVE) the blogging that is done online—I have learned SO MUCH by reading the blogs and by reading the information posted near the exhibits.
Oh and one other big thank you to the staff for keeping the panda viewing line moving along. When we were there on Sunday, the line was SUPER LONG (opened at 11 am instead of 9) and I thought we might be waiting for hours but the line was so fast–lickety split–which makes it nice in terms of being able to see Yun Zi.
Some people are cat people. Some people are dog people. I’m prefer pandas.
:0)
Amyko
To this mornings cam operator—thank you for watching both Bai and Yun—they look great this morning…love grammmie
I am thrilled! I’ve planned a trip in April to come see sweet baby Yun Zi. I am so grateful for the SD Zoo for doing such a wonderful job in helping to enrich this little panda’s life. Good job everyone. Warm hugs from Scotts Valley, CA!

Hi friend! This is actually a duplicate of an answer I sent you on an old blog a long time ago. I have a feeling you probably didn’t see it though, because I am terribly behind in my reading of the blogs. So I figured I would send it to you again, just in case no one else answered it for you yet.
It seems the Georgia Institute of Technology and Zoo Atlanta did test Yang Yang and Lun Lun back in 2006 and found out that giant pandas can see color. To what extent was not completely clear at the time of that study but the pandas could definitely tell the difference between colors and various shades of gray. I’m sure you can find more info on the subject if you choose. I’m not the most sophisticated when it comes to computers so I just typed “Can giant pandas see color?” in the search bar and it brought me to the page about the study. Have fun in your search. Hope you are well.
Good Morning Moderator,
Please have a beautiful panda-day and know that you are loved and appreciated.
Just want to say I have NO idea how you keep up with all of us blogging. I am trying my best, but I’ll be darned if I can catch up!!! And I’m not even trying to answer everybody’s questions! God Bless You, you are amazing.
Many Many smiles
I too love Sue Lin, she was my first cub to watch grow, and I even helped pick her name. I saw her at the stage Yun Zi is right now, she was up a tree sleeping, and the keeper said she came down when she was hungry, so never saw her down with Mom. I have a lot of things I bought in the Panda Store, with her picture on it. My how she has grown, a full adult bear now, I will be sad when they send her back. My daughter lives in San Diego, so I hope to come out this year and see all the Panda’s if possible.
As I watched Su Lin grow up so the watching of her little brother gives me more amusement and I have learned so much from Mother and son. I hope to see them soon. Thanks to everyone there who helps keep us fans up to date. Pandas have been my favorite since is was 4 yrs old. My mom was driving around picking up things for a rummage sale at our church. Someone gave her a panda that was as tall as I was. I latched on to it and she bought it for me for a quarter. Chummy and I grew up together and was my buddy all through school and college. He is gone now (I’m 65) but NOT forgotten! Hugs to Yun Zi!!!
So how come Su Lin and Zhen Zhen can’t ever at least see their mom? Would they fight?
Moderator’s note: Su Lin can see her mother by climbing on of the trees in her enclosure.
I saw him up so high. Did he finally come down last night? We saw Mom eating later, but he was nowhere in site.
I know he is better going up than down
Thanks so much for the wonderful blogs
Thank you for the great blog about Yun Zi’s first day on exhibit, Incredible what goes on behind the scenes in order for us to see our beloved pandas. Thank you so much for all the hard work and preparation! I had to blink a few times when I saw a tiny panda cub walking around Zhen Zhen’s exhibit! Then the light bulb went off, LOL!
While I didn’t get any useable footage of Yun Zi yesterday, I did get some of the other little boy panda who is also going through some changes of his own ~ weaning. This video is from day 2 after Xi Lan reunites with his mother Lun Lun at Zoo Atlanta.
2010-02-16 Xi Lan: da Ball, da Mommie and da Boo!

Zhen Zhen is in her new digs and putting on a Cirque de Soleil- type performance–funny, but a little scary too!
So is Camera 27 now our baby or was that ZhenZhen just hanging by the teeth on a rope in the tree!?
Moderator’s note: The Cam numbers listed at the bottom of the Panda Cam page are current.
Sounds like the Panda Convention is going to be quite a gathering. I’m not on Facebook, so I can’t see all the details. I’ll be driving down from LA area on March 11 and hoping to see His Cuteness that day or the next. Do the keepers ever come out and talk to the viewers, or is that just something they do for the media?
Moderator’s note: You may see a keeper at the exhibit, but we always have a panda narrator on hand to answer questions.
# 56 Dianna – I love to watch Lin. The Thailand Zoo certainly treats her differently than the cubs are treated here. I don’t understand the need to wipe her down and wash her when her momma does that… unless she doesn’t. Also, the keepers are always there. No matter what time I check on her. Don’t they ever sleep? It always seems to be the same ones. LOL. I guess as long as they’re taking care of her and she’s doing well, that’s all that matters.
# 67 DoxieMom How in the world did you talk him into trying to get all 4 feet on top of the ball….and then get him to try it again and succeed?? Did you use telepathy, texting, telephone….and was the ball a 2 layered device with a sewn cotton layer on the outside making it less sllippery and easier to not break?? Anyone not having seen this video please give yourself a good time and watch it—it is not terribly long—-and is fantastic….Love Grammmie
# 59 AMY You are in luck. First by using the Gallery of Photos you can catch up on how Yun Zi looked from the day he was born, and better yet, try his name in you-tube and you will see lots of videos from the day he was born, almost. The video area has lots to offer too, including most of his exams…and they are in color. Lots of us have photos from using the Postcard funtion just below the cam picture. You will love catching up on some of the things that have happened. There are many daily readers of this blog who click away all day and will be happy to send you links for pictures to enjoy too. You will love the zoo, I know I have for the better part of 50 years…Love Grammmie
Aww! Yun Zi, I hope u r havin a good time in ur new exhibit!! I luv u!! <3
Cool! Enjoy your new exhibit, Yun Zi!
Had houseguests from NYC and we got a chance to see Bai and Yunior. It was so beyond wonderful! Yunior was up in a tree napping, Bai was madly munching on boo, and all was well with the world. I took tons of pictures and eventually I’ll post them to the Facebook page on Panda Fandom Worldwide. It was such a treat to see Su Lin and then Mom and baby together. Will definitely be back many more times now that they’re out!
I have gone over and over some of my favorites from baby time to growing up. What an opportunity for the next generation to see the stages of Yun Zi’ s growing awareness of his area . see him learning, and Bai teaching him, on the trees, in the den, coming out into the sun room-he found his way back, and we are the first to see it. What an experience we share.How can we thank you for the future generations as our own children can see these movies. I know everyone who follows “roly polys” adventures in living have their favorites too.
Why aren’t Zhen Zhen and Su Lin allowed to be with their mother. Would they hurt Baby Yun?
Love the photos!
Moderator’s note: Bai Yun has her paws full taking care of Yun Zi
