Exciting times for both Lun Lun and Po! This past week Zoo Atlanta gave both mom and cub access to the second habitat for the first time!
Po is finally big enough that we felt safe letting him into the bigger yard. Lun Lun hasn’t been over there in quite some time, too. We thought Po would be very hesitant to go into the new area, but he was right on his mom’s heels as she made a beeline for the fresh bamboo we had placed in there. Po has definitely been a busy little cub inspecting all of the nooks, crannies, climbing structures, and all of the new smells. Habitat 1 is still the safe zone that he goes back to when he starts to feel a little overwhelmed, but I’m sure this will pass soon enough. Lun Lun is enjoying the new scenery for sure!
