Panda Update

Excerpts from the Panda Blog at the National Zoo in Washington, DC

TUESDAY
Father panda returned home from long day of sunning self on rock while tourist took pictures. Almost sat on cub. Mother Panda took a swipe at him. Ate bamboo.

WEDNESDAY
Orangutans came to visit new baby, brought covered dish. Mother panda not welcoming. Much growling and poo throwing.
Covered dish appears to be some sort of cobbler. Peach?

THURSDAY
Second intern died trying to take cub's temperature. The one with red hair. Jacob? Use of small stuffed panda from gift stand as decoy did not work as planned. Excellent photos taken of cub while mother panda preoccupied with Jacob! Very cute!

FRIDAY
Father panda sleeping. Mother panda has stayed up all night with cub, rocking back and forth, eyes wide open. Jason (not Jacob) removed from Panda pen. Zoo hat is still missing.
