I’m sorry about the lack of updates recently. I just moved into a new apartment, turned 30 and started grad school within the last two weeks so I’ve been VERY preoccupied. However, things are starting to get back to normal, so I’ll be sure to update with lots of panda-y goodness very soon!

But, I can’t help but mention that the new panda cubby at the San Diego Zoo is a boy! Here’s the scoop straight from the source:

It’s a boy! We are thrilled that our newest panda is a sturdy little male that is healthy and well fed. His first exam, on September 3, also told us that at four weeks of age he weighs 2.8 pounds (1,259 grams) and is 14.7 inches (37 centimeters) long.

Be sure to visit the panda cam often. Before you know it the little guy will be a big boy!
