It’s not hard to take a good picture when all your sides are your good side—just ask 18-week-old Xiao Liwu (whose name means “little gift,”), our adorable panda cub. He’s become quite a handful during exams and photo shoots! He takes every chance to crawl, and as his confidence grows, so does his curiosity— at the last exam he wanted a nice close-up look at our photographer’s lens. He’s picture perfect!
