National Zoo welcomes giant panda cub
Mei Xiang gave birth to the first giant panda cub at the National Zoo in 16 years. The cub, conceived via artificial insemination, remains indoors as the zoo weighs its gender and health. Public viewing starts with a three month wait as the zoo tracks the cub’s early development and potential survivability.
