Glued to the Pandacam

If you respond to animals in a completely sappy, anthropomorphic way - like I do - it’s hard to see them in captivity. Thankfully, these days zoos provide kinder habitats for the animals, and it’s not so heartbreaking to see them. My sister and I had a terrific visit to the National Zoo yesterday and were at least as delighted as the kids.
The zoo’s undisputed megastar right now wasn’t available for viewing, but he’s right here on the Web and we can watch him 24/7. Of course I’m talking about our 11-week-old panda boy, not yet named but well known to the entire metro populace. Check him out on the fabulous Pandacam, but you’re warned: If he and his mom and awake and doing anything, you won’t be able to stop watching.
