San Diego Zoo's 6th panda cub is a boy

San Diego Zoo Veterinarian Meg Sutherland-Smith confirmed it’s a boy for proud parents Bai Yun and Gao Gao!

The cub’s third exam was this morning. Animal Care Supervisor Gaylene was the lucky keeper to pick up the chubby cub this week while Bai Yun was happily eating her breakfast of bamboo, biscuits, apples, yams, and carrots. The little cub now weighs 3.2 pounds (1,452 grams), 14 ounces (400 grams) more than last week! The cub was very calm during all his measurements, which were taken by our nutritionist.
