Bao Bao Turns Two and Two More Pandas

A couple of years ago, there was a new panda baby at the Smithsonian National Zoo. I haven’t been able to get there to see her again since I took pictures about a year and a half ago. Yesterday, she turned two and they made her a “birthday cake” out of frozen fruit.

Just about two years later, her mother, Mei Xiang, has given birth to two more cubs.

Both photographs are from the Smithsonian.
