Bei Bei the baby panda struggles to stay awake for his media debut
  • 8 years ago
Bei Bei is the youngest giant panda cub at the National Zoo. He recently met with a small media contingent where he mostly slept but was cute nonetheless. He's one of four pandas at the Smithsonian's National Zoo, along with his mother, father and older sister. The zoo takes more of a hands-on approach with Bei Bei because his ability to reproduce is important to the survival of his species. He will make his public debut on Jan. 16.
