Giant panda cub Xiao Liwu (whose name means “little gift,”) is ready to meet his adoring the public! The chubby little black-and-white charmer has started exploring an outdoor habitat at the Zoo under his mom’s watchful eye, and the panda team has now opened this area to visitor viewing. Xiao Liwu and Bai Yun will be given access to the exhibit daily from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. (but of course it’s up to Bai Yun when they choose to come out). You can also watch via the Panda Cam to keep up with the panda’s progress.
