This one looks a little more like an adult panda but yes, the newborns are pretty disturbing.

They're beyond adorable! In a bit of a Lovecraft sense, I grant you.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:19 (twenty years ago)

if you coat them in honey and peanuts, and served 'em on a stick, I'd buy one.

The one in Julia's photo looks like a discarded ragdoll!

Oh, and w00t for Mei Xiang!

particularly upsetting about the post's series of articles on the new panda baby is that is constantly compared to a stick of butter.

otoh, w00t for mei xiang indeed.

Compared to a newborn kangaroo, it's cuddle-icious.

Lovely!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

In a world of miracles, the baby kangaroo is especially impressive, crawling as a hairless, sightless, deaf fetus across the doe's belly fur and diving on its own into the pouch and finding nipple-heaven. If it falls off, game over.

So yay pandas, but a little respect to the ugly ones.

I love the concept of marsupials. As if gestation and birth isn't hard enough, they add perilous journey of the hairless, sightless, deaf fetus to the mix. Respect for that, yes, but not evolution-based respect...

human newborns are terrifying-looking too.

I think the baby pandas look like hors d'oeuvres. Toothpick, anyone?

― quincie, Tuesday, 12 July 2005 17:56 (twenty years ago)

In real life these baby pandas are the most horribly annoying things ever. Pandas have very poor vision, and so in order to allow their mother to locate them (feed them, not step on them, etc) the little ones have to bleat all of the time.

They look like they are saying aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbb aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh

So panda Bai Yun had a baby on August 5th and is currently cuddling with it on the San Diego Zoo panda cam and I think it's about to make my heart explode.

curse that zoo and its flash animations - how am I to pillage their website for blog pictures?

― The Real Dirty Vicar, Wednesday, 26 August 2009 14:37 (sixteen years ago)

San Diego zoo is fucking awesome. Cool that they had a panda give birth!

― Bill Magill, Wednesday, 26 August 2009 14:40 (sixteen years ago)

Awwww - it's now focusing on the babe who is pretty tiny and cute.
