Giant panda fans encouraged to enjoy PandaCam now

Fans all over the world have enjoyed watching giant panda Lun Lun and her second-born, the newly-named Xi Lan, 24 hours a day on Zoo Atlanta’s PandaCam. Now that Xi Lan has reached his 100-day-old milestone, the Zoo has returned to its original PandaCam hours. Effective Monday, December 8 through Wednesday, December 31, 2008, PandaCam will be available from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Giant panda devotees are encouraged to enjoy PandaCam peeks on weekdays from 10 to 5 through the end of the year. While PandaCam has been a favorite stop on zooatlanta.org for more than a decade, Zoo Atlanta has announced that this feature will soon come to an end. Due to limited resources, PandaCam will not be available after December 31, 2008.

The giant panda presence will not vanish on zooatlanta.org, however. Beginning January 1, 2009, web guests can look forward to new and regular postings of Xi Lan’s latest photos, “best of” videos and more.

Now that Xi Lan is learning the ropes of walking, the cub will soon make his long-awaited debut into his habitat. Zoo Atlanta expects that Members and guests will be able to visit the new addition in person in January.
