Check out this live Panda Cam from the San Diego Zoo. It's a mom and her baby panda. Too cute!!
(sometimes the mom leaves the den and you will only see the baby)

Daydreamer, also check out the videos on the panda checkups. That little thing is too cute. I have been watching how he has been gaining weight. At birth he weighed approximately 4 ounces. He now weighs 34 ounces (last time I checked, but I bet he weighs more now), I think he gained over a pound in 1 week.

Edited to add, I just checked, he now weighs over 3 pounds.

Thanks, Daydreamer! Panda Cam is so great, and that little guy is such a cutie.

Awwww, thanks, Daydreamer. I always used to watch the pandacam at the San Diego Zoo until the baby who was born in 1999 had to go to China. I was in San Diego when that one was born. I did not even know there is a new baby. I just checked now, and they are asleep together, with a night camera on.

On a lark, I checked eaglecam today.

Star and Mate are STILL at the nest. Star is sitting in the nest right now, just as though she has eggs in there. Really weird. They did not do this last year. Everybody abandoned the nest after the babies flew. Puget Sound eaglecam is now shut down as the baby has flown and no eagles are using the nest.

I think Star still using the nest and Mate still hanging around bodes well for next spring.

Are they sending her back to China without her baby?

It is her sister that is going back to China.

Sorry Twigs and Sbw, I don't have the answers to your questions.

I came here to say that the Panda cam is so darn cute. I was just watching as momma picked up sonny-boy and held him in her huge paw, then pulled him close to her neck/chest area..as if giving him a hug! Too darn cute!!

I just looked in on them too. The camera has a closeup head shot of the two of them. They are playing and cuddling like crazy. It is so damn cute!

The baby panda is pretty active right now, stretching and yawning right near Mama's face. The camera switched to a close-up just in time to catch a big old yawn and his little tongue curling out! Haha! Very cute stuff.

how sweet! mama snuggled the baby and then they settled down for a nap. if i didn't see mama's tummy going up and down, i would think it was a still shot! my kids never slept that quickly :)

I'm so glad you like watching the Pandas too. :) I've kept that page open for the past 2 days on my computer (even at work...shhhhh) lol, I just love watching them. It is the cutest thing when the mom picks up the baby. It's hard to imagine something so big being so gentle. Nature is amazing.

I've been checking several times since Daydreamer first posted the link, and every time both pandas were asleep... finally just now yay! they were both up for a few minutes anyway... now Bai Yun (mom) seems to be trying to sleep again while the baby is still squirming about a bit... This is too cool... so adorable!!

Does anyone know when they name the baby, or why they wait?

lol, Zachsmom... do you have lots of bamboo in your yard? And you would probably have to scoop a lot of poop with one of these... we're not talking nice little tidy doggy or kitty poop here.

Last night when I peeked in, Momma was sleeping with her baby cradled in her arms. Sooo precious!

I watched their Panda Cam several years ago, I think about four or five years ago. To de-stress at work we would all take a look! I'm so happy to have the Panda Cam back in my life!

Thamk you Daydreamer for finding it! Yippie!

I was just watching and I couldn't figure out what I was seeing, then the door opened and mom moved and I saw the baby!! I've been planning on doing housework before I let Spirit in the house, but I let out a loud "OHHHH" when I saw the baby, and Spirit heard me. Now he's crying to get in the house, so I guess I'll let him in and watch the baby for a while!! I'm a sucker for babies, AND Spirit!!

when i lived in the bronx in the mid-70's, i would go to the bronx zoo at least 2 saturdays a month and just watch 'snowball' a polar bear cub. he was so sweet and the mama would teach him to swim, etc.
this cam puts me in mind of those days. it is so calming and special to watch this little guy and his loving mama! i find it is interrupting my chores, however :)

Tabbyking - they have a polar bear cam too! It's not as clear a picture as the Panda cam but it's fun to watch too! Here is the link:
