Since October 22, giant panda Lun Lun has been on birth watch!
Finally, today, Wednesday November 3, she gave birth to a 4 ounce cub that was the size of a cell phone!
Zoo Atlanta is the only zoo in the US that has had a panda cub born this year.
Zookeepers say that they will be abel to inspect the cub and see its gender within a week, when Lun Lun feels comfortable setting it down.
Panda fans can keep up with the cub’s growth at the zoo’s online panda cam, which showed Lun Lun licking and cuddling the cub in the morning.
The new cub will not be named until it is 100 days old, since that is the tradition in China.
We send good luck to Lun Lun and her new baby!!!
