This little giant panda cub at the San Diego Zoo is showing great signs of growth. At just a little over three months the baby panda is starting to walk. Although still a little clumsy, he's making progress. [Tracy Clippinger, Senior Veterinarian, San Diego Zoo]: (English) “Over the past week, he gained 600 grams and he's right on the weight curve, so he's gaining just fine. His body condition feels good. He's a little above average in the body condition. He has nice fat stores over his spine, his belly is good and full, so he's doing great.” The baby panda cub is getting a routine checkup to make sure his development is on track. And his caretaker says things are looking good. [Tracy Clippinger, Senior Veterinarian, San Diego Zoo]: (English) “So the exciting thing is that today is he pushing up on all his fronts and he's also pushing up on his back legs. And so his belly is clearing the ground and he's starting to move and follow wherever his front legs go with his back legs. So he's beyond crawling, but not all the way walking right now.” The little panda is also showing signs of another breakthrough. After poking around, his caretakers discover the first signs of baby teeth poking out from his gums.
