2020-10-17 Cubbie: Field Trip & Tumbles

#PandaStory: Some scenes from Saturday morning. The camera zoomed in on Mei Xiang and her 57 day old male cub while she was grooming him (if you look real close you might see his open eyes!), but then she tried to get up and he slipped off her arm. Whoops, cubbie is fine, notice he didn't vocalize! Then a quick field trip out the den door and back again (this view may be new to some of you!). Afterwards it was time for a nursing session (did not show all of it), and then the cleanup. But wiggly cubbie again tumbles out of Mei Xiang's arms were he does some vocalization and clumsy locomotion until momma scoops him up!
