The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Baby Panda at Zoo Atlanta 1

100 days is a long time to wait for a proper name, but today Zoo Atlanta's little Panda cub got a name: "Po!" It's no coincidence that the cub's name might sound familiar to fans of Kung Fu Panda. DreamWorks sponsored the naming of the little cub in exchange for funding Zoo Atlanta's panda conservation efforts. Additionally, DreamWorks will continue to fund efforts at China's Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, a facility we have covered in the past. The cub is now 11lbs and took his first steps a few days ago. See the cubs progress as covered by ZooBorns at birth and four weeks.

    Well, that works out nicely. I know Zoo Atlanta has struggled to pay for things like the panda cam. I’m sure they welcome the help from Dreamworks.
