Lun Lun, Zoo Atlanta's beautiful 13 year old giant panda, gave birth at 5:39 am this morning to her third cub. Mom and baby are doing well.
The sex of the cub won't be determined until the panda caretakers can safely take the baby from Lun Lun for an examination. The cub will be given its name on the 100th day per Chinese custom.
This is the only panda cub born in the United States this year - Lun Lun's first two cubs were also the only cubs born in the US during their birth years.
Congratulations to Zoo Atlanta for all their dedication to the giant pandas. And congratulations to Lun Lun and Yang Yang - well done, Mom and Dad!

I'm so glad you share the info on the pandas. I don't keep up with them, except through you. They're such majestic animals and so good that the zoo is doing so much for them.
Oh Lynne, how exciting! Little baby Pandas are so cute!!
