meagain Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I've been watching this baby Panda from the Atlanta Zoo zoomed up on my screen. I think they only recently introduced her to the outside and she just learned to walk (if one could call it that). The inside enclosure is about 3-4 rooms (dens). Each entrance is like a curb that she must crawl over which usually results in a big tumble. It's cool watching mom & her together. I think they estimate there's around 1500 wild Pandas in the world and about 100 in captivity. I believe this baby is the 5th born in the USA in the last 6 years or so. They only have the cam running during office hours for about 6 hours. They are very active tho the baby is sleeping quite a bit today. Just wanted to share cuz it's darned cute & interesting. http://www.zooatlanta.org/animals_panda_cam.php4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meagain Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 I'm pretty addicted to watching that baby panda. Now, I just went there and it's offline. It's never offline. Hmmm.... I just can't imagine how they survive in the wild even IF they had no habitat loss or predators. Baby panda is not the sharpest tool in the shed. It almost seems to confuse it's head from it's butt quite often to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I just checked out the Panda cam. I'd swear there was a guy working on a pair of rosewood Klipschorns in the background... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted February 23, 2007 Moderators Share Posted February 23, 2007 I've been watching this baby Panda from the Atlanta Zoo zoomed up on my screen. Meagain, I am really glad you posted this thing about the webcam, it made me realize something very important. I have been stareing at your Avtar for about 2 hours a night wondering when he was going to just stay in the water instead of jumping right back out after he jumped in. I thought it was a web cam and that this was just a very stupid penguin or that the water was just to cold, even for a penguin. I was waiting to see if the water was going to warm up so that the penguin would stay under water, but he just keeps jumping right back up and starting all over again. At first I thought it might be a video loop because it never got dark, but then I remembered that the sun is out 24 hours a day at the South Pole this time of year so I was not really too concerned about that. Now, after seeing a real web cam, I realize that your avtar is not a webcam at all. If you look real close you can tell that the markings on the penguin change from time to time, leading me to believe that this is Hollywood magic, pure and simple. Just like Lassie, when you are not looking, they substitute another penguin in there to start the jumping sequence all over again. I am sure this is to allow the penguins time to rest, eat, sleep, etc. (they have a very strong union you know, second only to SAG). It took awhile, but I figured it out all on my own. I just didn't fall off a turnip truck you know. Well now I have plenty to keep me amused over the weekend between the panda cam and trying to figure out exactly how many penguins they have in rotation on your avtar. Thanks for the link.

meagain Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 LOL! Well Happy Friday to you too! The problem with the baby panda cam is that it's shut down on weekends. I had to keep it on my computer to rewind when hubby came home for him to see it. She's really starting to move around well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Tonight's paper (Atlanta) has the mother and baby on the front page making a public appearance together. I saw it in a store earlier. The baby looks like it has has too big a head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I wonder if they taste good? Being a baby, you know the meat just has to be tender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meagain Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Baby Panda is likely going to fall any second now. She figured out how to climb and I think it's not going to go well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 asleep again! ...........either that or it's dead from the fall. [~] http://www.zooatlanta.org/animals_panda_cam.php4 [~] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meagain Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 LOL - It's so not asleep now. BTW - It did fall off that log. I'm surprised they are allowing it to climb that outdoor structure, and why they didn't reduce its size. I mean, any Baby Panda Cam watchers out there surely saw that as a death trap.
