Lun Lun Bathes, Nurses her Little Girl

One of the v.2.0 twin girls (confirmed below as Cub B), spent a considerable amount of time in Den 1 with mother Lun Lun. This video shows Lun Lun, a very experienced mother, handling her cub as she bathes and nurses her little girl. Here's today's Panda Cub Update:

Cub B had quite the adventure today. Lun Lun decided that she wanted Cub B to hang out in the hallway part of Den 1 for a few hours. She nursed her cub, and then they took a nice nap. When Lun got up to eat, Cub B took the opportunity to explore the end of the hallway. She quietly scooted around and around and checked out the entire area. She even got to investigate a piece of bamboo that Lun left blocking the cub's way. That was a smart move on Lun's part -- Cub B was able to explore, but she was contained to the end of the hallway, about the same size as the half of the nest box that she usually sleeps in. She was pretty tired afterward and settled in for a power nap before having another snack!
