2020-12-08 Xiao Qi Ji's Major Mobility Milestone!

#PandaStory Day 109: With a combination of steps and scoots, Xiao Qi Ji was extensively exploring room 3 and following Mei Xiang around for nearly 1 1/2 hours earlier this morning! Amazing to watch how seemingly overnight Qi Ji has put all his mobility skills to use so that he could be a part of Mei Xiang's early morning routine. Please note that her pacing is very normal behavior as she is both keeping a sharp eye on Qi Ji as he navigates the room, and she's waiting for her breakfast of fresh bamboo and treats.

Note from Doxie: I respectively ask that you do not post comments disparaging the Smithsonian Zoo's treatment of their Giant Pandas or comparisons to other Zoos.
