Poor Tian Tian has suffered an injury. He needs all of your prayers, as he has 'cherry eye'. I know this is off subject, but everyone needs to check the NZ pandacam website.

She walks a little tentatively, but is relaly making progress...can't wait to see her out on exhibit! I'm sure the public is chomping at the bit too!! <em>Moderator's note: Sadly, our Elephant Cam developed a glitch over the weekend and we are still trying to resolve the problem and restore Elephant Cam viewing. So far, only Panda Cam offers the time lapse feature.</em> Something is going on with the elephant cam….I am not getting any video..?????

I keep wondering if it's because she has to poop, but doesn't know how yet? I've seen this behavior on the cam before and always wonder. Also, the polar bears got some snow last weekend and the elephants were getting some yesterday. Any plans to have a " snow day" for Su Lin and Gao Gao?

She was just outside, playing follow the leader, wrestling with Bai, practicing her climbing skills, and just being unbelievably cute. Watching her grow and mature has been beyond fascinating.I have always found pandas to be interesting but now after watching the panda cam on a regular basis for the past few months, I realize actually how captivating and charming they really are. Thinking back to how tiny and fragile ZZ was when she was born, it seems incredible that Bai, being so large comparatively, raised her. Rarely, have I seen such finesse. Gao Gao and Su Lin never fail to amaze me either. Gao Gao' seems to have turned eating into an art form, efficient and precise in his method. Whereas Su Lin exemplifies grace and poise with her uncanny ability to balance herself, even on the most precarious tree limb. I am sure you all know this already, but I wanted to express my awe and wonder and thank everyone at SDZ. Wow, I can't believe how big Miss Z has gotten!!

It was so adorable to see her sidle up to Mom, sit up against the log, grab a piece of 'boo, and try to copy Bai Yun. What a big girl she's getting to be, but still so small next to Bai. It reminded me that the last time I saw Bai Yun sharing her food was last February before Su Lin was weaned. Time does fly when you're watching the pandas!

It is so great that, in what may be Bai's last cub, she has one that isn't afraid to play with her. Looks like Zhen has passed the milestone of climbing trees!

WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE AREA LOOKS LIKE - DOES HE HAVE SOME TREES TO HANG FROM????? PERHAPS SOMEONE WOULD ASK SCOTT TO WRITE A BLOG FOR THE SITE OR PUT A VIDEO ON YOU-TUBE. If in the long run Mei Sheng likes playing with other pandas in same pen then probably he will be happier but I am sure that right now he is VERY lonely and sad with basically only one person giving him attention and if the pen is small with no trees, etc. then that is horrible.
