I stumbled upon this and thought you might enjoy it. The person filming was at the zoo.
Look how he holds his little front toes up when she carries him about.

Po gets cuter by the day. When I checked in on him yesterday he had rolled over on his back and was trying to get turned back over. It was a riot. How lucky were those ladies who got that little glimpse of him!

Thanks for sharing that video with us, Mick! Really made the days of the people who were visiting this exhibit at the zoo right then! :loveshow:

Po is walking better and better everyday. This morning I watched him climb over a threshold and it took him less than a minute. Just last week it took him at least five minutes to surmount the same obstacle. Soon he will be running and climbing. His play behavior is also increasing. He and Lun Lun had a bout of play wrestling and biting yesterday that lasted about five minutes. These bouts will become more frequent and longer in the coming months. I wonder if Lun Lun is anticipating having him climbing and biting all over her while she is trying to eat and sleep. Her peaceful days and nights are soon coming to an end.

Po was in the hammock earlier and I could see a glimpse of XiLan on the other side of the glass. Lun just moved him from inside through a door, but I am not sure where.

Friday, March 40
Recently I had the chance to spend a little time watching Lun Lun and Po. Lun was lying on her side, while Po pawed at her face and she gently pawed back. I think this is my favorite age for giant panda cubs. At this age, Po is walking and learning to navigate his space, but is also just discovering that in his mother, he has a great play partner. As he develops, he’ll refine his skills so that he becomes much more effective at interfering with her plans for the day, but right now he just seems to be figuring out what it means to interact with his mom. It’s always fun to watch giant panda mothers play with their cubs at this age, because they can be very gentle when they wrestle with and bite their cubs. We know from past experience that giant panda cubs are pretty tough, though, so it’s only a matter of time before the real vigorous wrestling begins!

I think the hammock has become Lun Lun’s new favorite item on exhibit. It makes a wonderful cub storage, containment and nursing area. When Po goes out in the dayroom in the morning he can really get moving since his walking skills have improved. So she picks him up and sticks him in the hammock where he sleeps the rest of the day. I am sure it won’t be long until he can get out of the hammock on his own. Then the peace and quiet will be over for her.

Po has quickly adjusted to the dayroom exhibit. He is quite comfortable in there with or without his mother. Mei Lan and Xi Lan both preferred the den areas when they first started going out in the exhibits. Almost as soon as they were out in the dayroom, they would leave and go back to the familiar space of the dens. Po just prefers to be with Lun Lun and seems satisfied that if she put him somewhere, that must be an ok place to be, especially if she is there too. Lun Lun also seems much more at ease with Po in the dayroom than she was with either of her previous cubs. As we have mentioned here frequently, she is such a confident mother now and she knows the dayroom is safe and secure for Po. Po’s current weight is 6.7 kg.

Paws! Paws! Paws! When Lun Lun is not around and Po wants to play he goes with what he has- his paws! It is very cute to see him lying on his back, wiggling all four feet around, and biting on one or two. This solitary play likely helps with muscle development and coordination and it’s just plain fun! It is a common behavior shown by panda cubs at this age.

Too cute!! Lun was really sleeping soundly and all sprawled out at first!!

Monday, March 14
Po is intent on learning how to climb! He has been able to get on top of the logs that are in the dayroom for a few days now, and so he is moving onto larger obstacles. On Sunday, he was trying repeatedly to climb up the large support logs to the structure. This is similar to what Xi Lan started with when he was first learning to climb. I do not know why they seem to choose the hardest location first. The logs that they attempt to climb are about 12” in diameter, and are perpendicular to the ground; this is not an easy feat for the novice climber. However, I am sure that it will not be long before Po has improved coordination and increased strength in his leg muscles enough to get to the top.
