Mei Lan

As many of you know I am absolutely nuts about Giant Panda's. I arrived in Atlanta, almost ten years ago around the same time as Lun Lun and Yang Yang the Giant Panda's on load to Zoo Atlanta. That was about the time my fascination with Panda's began. They truly are amazing, beautiful smart animals who have more personality then most people I know.
On September 6, 2006 Lun Lun and Yang Yang became the proud parents of Mei Lan our beautiful baby Panda Cub. From the day Mei Lan was born we Giant Panda lovers have had the pleasure of seeing her grow via the Panda Cam at www.ZooAtlanta.com .
I am not sure if there are any proven scientific facts that Panda's have a healing effect on Humans. I can tell you that the last nine months of viewing Lun Lun and Mei Lan on the Panda Cam have been a much needed "calm in the storm" for me.
If you are looking for some entertainment between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm (Eastern) check out the Panda Cam. You will usually catch Lun Lun and Mei Lan playing. It is so fun to watch, you can see how much Lun Lun loves her cub and how curious and mischievous the cub is. I should note Panda Cam is only available Monday - Friday.
Those of you with kids make sure you include them but be warned watching these two is addicting to people of all ages.
