With all of the baby talk I thought I'd share this really cool link. (With a familiar monitor view)
Bai Yun at the SanDiego Zoo gave birth to a cub a week ago today. The mom and the cub sleep most of the time but if you're lucky enough to catch things at just the right time you will see the cub that's no bigger than a white mouse. (Pretty cool). It should be really neat to watch the cub grow and I just thought I'd share.
Plenty can be debated about the goodness or cruelty of zoos. I try and look at them as playing an important role in conservation. Just like the forests that are disappearing so too are the creatures.
I saw this on the wall at Hurricane Ridge...

This feed is faster than the zoo's site.
