From Zoo Atlanta:

WAS THAT PO?

Zoo Atlanta on Tuesday, February 22, 2011 at 11:13 am

This morning, visitors to the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation Giant Panda Conservation Center saw Lun Lun carry what looked like an unusually adorable plush toy into the dayroom. But it wasn’t a plush – it was Po! The Animal Management Team gave Lun Lun access to the dayroom this morning, and she carried Po right out the door.

What does this mean for you? Guests MAY get a glimpse of the cub as Lun Lun checks out the exhibit. This is still an exploratory time for both Po and Lun Lun, as she makes sure she’s comfortable with taking the cub into the dayroom, and the pair may initially be out only for short periods. While we don’t expect Po to be on exhibit full-time for a few more weeks, you just may get a lucky sighting the next time you visit!

Wednesday, February 23 Update...

Po has been very busy over the last week! In addition to getting a name, he has worked out how to climb in and out of the nest box and yesterday Lun Lun took him out into the dayroom for the first time. I gave Lun Lun access to the dayroom around 8:30, where she spent about an hour eating, and by 9:45, she decided to carry Po out and sit with him in the hammock. Po nursed and then slept in the hammock while Lun Lun ate bamboo. Lun Lun left Po in the dayroom most of the day. She is such a confident mother now that she did not mind leaving Po in the dayroom while she ate in the dens later in the day. Lun Lun likes to keep us guessing, so I do not know if she will take Po out every day, but his first trip to the dayroom was very successful.

Friday, February 25
Po accomplished another first yesterday. He was able to climb up and over one of the shift door threshholds between two of the off exhibit dens. Lun Lun left him in one den and headed off to eat in the dayroom. Po decided that he wanted to return to the next box, and so off he went. It took him about four tries and 10 minutes to climb the 6 inch high threshold. But he was really determined and was able to make it over!

His weight at yesterday’s vet check was 5.98 kg.

Gee, I didn't realize I was that far behind in checking out the panda posts. Mick- I just loved your video of last week with little Po in the hammock . . . so cute, especially with your added captions!

P.S. Can I still make a reservation for the BCAW plane trip to see the pandas? :wink:
