What will the name be? We at Daylife can't until Monday! Good luck to both Swaisgood, Hall, Gao Gao, Bai Yun, and the staff -- and the cub! -- Matt As we get close to the naming of the cub, we’re seeing Bai Yun and Gao Gao pop up in the news with greater frequency.

Who likes needles anyway. Who likes vaccinations. I bet she was saying: Where is my chin-rubbing? Where is my massage. Don't I get anything after this? Not even a bamboo? She sure is one assertive panda, and very intelligent too. It is so much fun to watch Miss Fluffy Butt go through her physical exam. Who likes needles anyway. Who likes vaccinations.

I've just been watching the video they've put together of handsome Mei Sheng's first 4 years. I'm not afraid to admit i've cried he is as they call him a silly sweet boy. I really thought that he was going to fall when he was playing in the tree but then i laughed when he used his two back legs to dangle. He really is quite a character. I bet the keepers will shed some tears for him when he goes as we all will. Take care everyone Thank you Moderator, Barbara #13 and Cheryl #14 for welcoming me glad to meet you all.

I was in San Francisco during the fires - but I'm glad to be home - and relieved to know that everyone is safe - and that the Wild Animal Park was spared from more significant damages. I am so proud of everyone here in San Diego. Everyone pulled together and helped where needed - saving both animals and property - sometimes at the risk of their own safety - and not knowing if their own homes were in danger. We live in a truly amazing place. I want to thank everyone at the SD Zoo and WAP for all of their efforts, dedication to the animals and love of our city. You are the best! Sammi #11 - Welcome!

Being disabled and living in the UK i cannot get to visit these beautiful pandas, so to see a map would be a real help to understand exactly where Bai Yun goes when she leaves her beautiful baby cub. I've noticed baby cub being called Bright Star, who gave her that name or how did it come about that she is called that? I'm new to all this as i'm not computer literate but i found out how to leave a comment and i really feel part of you all. <em>Moderator's note: Welcome, Sammi! Bright Star is a nickname some of our blog readers currently use to refer to the cub. We will have an online naming poll for her soon and you can place your vote.</em> Marie #11 i would also like to see a map of the layout of the panda research station.

Is that Bai Yun I've been seeing on C4 today basking on the rock? Discovering panda cam and watching Bai Yun and the cutest little cubette in the whole wide world has been such a gift. Thank you, keepers, vets, et al for keeping all well and happy. I agree with Deb #7 that it would be great to be able to understand the layout of the habitat.

Deb #7, Hua Mei was first on exhibit in the space that is now the classroom. Cathy #8, It's now called the classroom because, though it is off exhibit, it can be used to host small viewing groups. This occurrs frequently with education programs like Zoo Corps, Zoo InternQuest, and summer school groups as well as field trips by classes throughout the year. It's also located in the back of our panda discovery center, the panda education part of the facility. Paula #2,
