At 4:58 this morning, Bai Yun, one of the pandas at the San Diego Zoo, gave birth to a cute little panda baby!

Watch a video of the birth here and keep an eye on the panda cam for a glimpse of the little one here.

The pandas over at the San Diego Zoo celebrated their birthdays with fruit and bamboo filled ice cakes today! Su Lin turned 4 yesterday and Zhen Zhen turned two today!

Head on over to the panda blog to read more about it. Hopefully they’ll be joined by a new sibling very soon!

Possibly a bit too much? Never if it’s panda related!

I read on PandaNews.org yesterday that if you plan on visiting the new panda baby in Thailand you’ll be in line for quite some time – until January to be exact!

Isn’t the cub such a cutie?! I’d wait until January to see the little one. Of course, by then she won’t be so little!

I’ve finally resolved the issues with the server and I’m happy to announce that all backdated posts have been uploaded to the site, so be sure to check out the past 3 weeks worth of posts for a ton of panda goodness!

Thanks for being so patient while we worked out the issues. Hopefully there won’t be any more issues!

P.S. In case you didn’t know, Xi Lan’s panda cam is back up thanks to the awesome support from EarthCam! Yay!

Go check him out – he’s in the beyond adorable phase!

I remember when he was just my little Vienna Sausage! On Monday, the little guy had a little fun in the snow – for the first time ever!

There’s only one word for it when this young cub got sight of his first ever snow – panda-monium.

Giant panda cub Fu Long was clearly delighted to be frolicking with his proud mum at Vienna’s Schönbrunn zoo as heavy snow covered the whole of Europe.

And 18-month-old Fu Long really got a taste for snow – gobbling down mouthfuls of the stuff as if it was ice cream, said his keepers at the Austrian zoo.

Isn’t he too cute for words?!

If I wasn’t in the midst of finals and graduation during the time that this WWF trip is scheduled (May 4 – May 17, 2009), I would definitely be saving up for it – it looks so fun!

Not only do you get to tour all the best parts of China, you get to spend three days with the pandas! I think the $5,890 they’re booking this for is extremely reasonable – especially for a 2 week vacation, don’t you?

So jealous. Some day I will have enough money and time to go to China. *Sigh*
