After some scares the newborn panda in Atlanta seems to be doing well. The picture shows Mother Lun Lun nursing her tiny cub.
Here's the most recent panda report:
It was another good day and night for Lun Lun and cub. Rest came much as one might expect for a nursing mother – short-lived bouts of sleep interrupted by the occasional cub vocalizations. Lun Lun responds by cradling him closer or repositioning herself in order to keep her cub warm and comfortable. The cub is nursing well and gaining weight, and Lun Lun continues to appropriately attend to his needs.

-sounds par for the course! Except, of course, the mother panda doesn't also have to worry about cleaning the house, loading the dishwasher, paying bills, etc., etc., etc.
