View Zhen Zhen this Saturday! Prepare for lots of pictures with the caption: Isn't she "Precious!?" Get it, cause that's what her name means!



The San Diego Zoo will be premiering their new baby panda cub Zhen Zhen (Jun Jun) on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. This will be the first of many appearances while she gets better walking and climbing skills.




That's not Zhen Zhen up there by the way, that's just a random Google Images panda baby. However, precious in it's own right.

Baby Panda's Name Announced: Hello Zhen Zhen



I voted, I WIN!!! Welcome Zhen Zhen, which means Precious. From San Jose Mercury News:


Following Chinese tradition, the zoo waited until the cub, which was born Aug. 3, reached 100 days old before giving her a name. More than 2,400 names were initially submitted by zoo visitors. Those were narrowed to four and then 36 percent of voters chose Zhen Zhen in an online poll. The other choices were Li Hua (Beautiful China), Ming Zhu (Bright Treasure) and Xiao Li (Little Beauty). The cub is still living out of public view in a private den with her mother, the panda Bai Yun.
That's not Zhen Zhen up there in the picture (by the way) though that Panda is just precious as well.
