She's sitting up holding the cub now, seems to be licking her and probably nursing her.. (uh I guess they haven't determined if it is him or her yet).

This nature cam is on Matinicus Rock in Maine. You can watch it on RealPlayer. I have it on in the background right now and can hear the ocean waves and some seagulls. I love the ocean! When I first checked it this morning, there was a puffin right up close to the camera. It was so cute. The page also has a link to Murre Cam
Live Seabird Camera at Devil's Rock Slide, California, March - July.

Mak1: Thanks for the puffin site! I tried the link this morning but could only get audio, no picture. But it was wonderful to hear the real live ocean! I'll try again tomorrow.

Love the panda pix!

You're welcome, Calamity. I love hearing the ocean sounds, too! I wonder why you couldn't get the picture too. It swivels around and you see the rocks and waves and anything else that arrives. Do you have the latest version of RealPlayer?

Those baby panda pics are the cutest! Thank you to everyone who has posted them.

Oh my goodness!! Timing is everything, right??!! I turned on the San Diego Zoo Panda Cam and saw Momma Panda sleeping. Then within 1 minute, she gets up and leaves the den.

Looky at what I snapped!! Baby Panda Pic#1

Here's a cut'n'paste from the PandaCAM website about the Baby Panda's first exam. You can also click onto a link to see a slide show of the first exam and you can hear the cute sounding gentle squeals from the Baby Panda.

Here's the cut'n'paste from the PandaCAM link above this thread:


Panda update: Cub gets first veterinary exam (August 17, 2005)
Shortly after 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, August 17, Bai Yun, the San Diego Zoo’s adult giant panda female, left the den giving veterinarians the long sought after opportunity to exam her 2-week-old cub.

While veterinarians are not certain if the cub is male or female just yet, they did note that this cub appears to be a few centimeters longer and a few grams lighter than the previous panda cub, Mei Sheng, at this age. The unnamed cub weighed in at 13 ounces and is 24 centimeters from the tip of its nose to the end of its tail.

The exam lasted approximately three minutes; making this the longest first exam on a giant panda cub San Diego Zoo veterinarians have been able to perform. Karen Kearns, DVM, associate veterinarian, attributes this to the cub’s relaxed attitude during the exam. Since the cub did not squawk or cry much Bai Yun remained calm during the separation, but when allowed back into the den Bai Yun quickly tended to the cub.

The DC cub is 7 weeks old today, born July 9th.
The SD cub was born August 2nd, about 24 days younger than its DC cousin.

CORRECTION: DC baby was 6 weeks old yesterday. I didn't do the math, I took them at their word which has been corrected on their website today. So that makes DC baby only 17 days older than SD baby.

DOUBLE CORRECTION No, I was right. It is 6 weeks, but I now remember I counted the days on the calendar, so that would make them 24 days apart in age with DC being the older cub. Mea culpa!
