Pandamonium

(No, not a new element discovered. Just wanted to use that title.) What can I say? Black and white animals can be ridiculously cute. Especially if they're baby ones. Spotted* in the LA Times was an article about Tai Shan (pictured [strike] in my lunchbox[/strike] above), the four and a half month old Giant Panda cub (photo is from earlier) which gave its first official press conference to the national media yesterday in Washington DC. The article's nice and all, but the good stuff is the live pandacam (!) at the Zoo's website on the Pandas where you can watch the mother and her cub hanging out! See also the collection of ridiculously cute baby Panda photos here, (this is where I got the photo from) and other photo galleries. (Oh, yes, and lots of valuable scientific information, and information on how to support the species, here.) -cvj (*Thanks Samantha!)
