Panda, Baby

Panda Watch: 2015. I know, I know… so cliche.

Cue the scene from Anchorman.

There’s nothing more gentle than watching a big, furry panda bear cuddle with its hairless little peanut.

While some of us were watching a bad (yet somewhat entertaining) Full House biopic on Lifetime Saturday night, Mei Xiang was giving birth to twins at Washington’s National Zoo.

A two-camera live feed is available for those of you (or me) who just can’t get enough.
