Excitement is in the air at the San Diego Zoo: on Sunday, July 29, at 2:10 p.m., our 6th giant panda cub was born! Panda mom extraordinaire Bai Yun has done it again, despite being one of the oldest known pandas to give birth. So far mom and cub are doing great, and panda fans here in San Diego and around the world are thrilled to be watching a new cub grow up, one more addition to the population of this endangered species. Watch the videos, hear from the panda team, and see Bai Yun and her little one on Panda Cam.
