The new baby panda at the San Diego Zoo is two weeks old today. Momma is still keeping him close to her to keep him warm and safe. She leaves the den periodically now to eat, take care of business, and get water. When she is out the baby can be clearly seen. He has now developed the black markings of a panda. The Zoo has a 24-hour webcam in the maternity den (using night vision technology).
Here's a link to the site http://www.sandiegozoo.org/pandacam/index.html
There's also a "blog" with messages from pandaholics from all over posting, and a section that introduces all of the pandas currently at the zoo and those who were there but have moved on -- two of those are babies that were born at SDZ but have gone back to China.
