See her here.
This is a live video feed from the Chiang Mai Zoo in northern Thailand. The panda’s name is Lin Ping, and she’s 6 months old. Her parents are on loan from China.
The only problem is the window tries to close after a few minutes. It gets a lot of views, so that’s probably some sort of technical issue to keep it flowing smoothly.
I put this in my Odd Animal News thread, but I think it deserves its own thread rather than getting buried there.
Can everyone say “Awwww”?
Well, an attendant was playing with her a moment ago, then they took her off somewhere. She’ll be back. Looks like they’re cleaning.
I LOVE watching baby pandas!!! I hope they hurry up and clean the cage!!!
Appropriate name! 
Wouldn’t you know it? Lin Ping was rolling around eating bamboo and playing with the attendant, then as soon as I post it, they take her out for cleaning. May be with her mama now.
There’s a live, 24-hour Panda Channel on cable TV here now. We don’t have cable, but I hear it mostly shows the parents.
I followed Tai Shan, who was born a few years ago (3??) in Washington DC. It was truly fascinating to watch him go from a little fuzzy lump, to rolling around, then crawling, and finally climbing and playing with his mommy!
She’s back!
And they’ve given her some new toys.
I have to admit Siam, I am getting annoyed with the guy in the cage with her. Just leave her alone! She seems rather frightened of him. She seems like she wants out. I wonder if she was with her Mom before, and she misses her. Maybe I am being too sentimental!!!
I dunno, she seems to be having a good time to me.
I can’t remember the exact details of the agreement with China, but I think the zoo will be allowed to keep her for three years.
There, the panda keeps chasing that one lady attendant around, like a puppy.
Mama’s in there now, too! Playing with baby. 
The mother’s name is Lin Hui.
The father is named Chuang Chuang. Lin Ping, the baby, was introduced to her father after a couple or three months and reportedly growled at him.
The parents have been at the zoo for 6 years now. More about them here. The wife and I have seen them in person. There’s an extra admission fee to see them, and they are very popular indeed. Flash photography is not allowed, and all cameras taken in get a little piece of electrical tape placed over the flash for those who forget to turn it off.
As I’m writing this, Mama and Baby have been play wrestling for several minutes. No keeper in sight, although the angle of the camera has switched a few times.
Panda cam no work for me! :mad:
Not working for me, either! I want mah panda!
I hope Chiang Mai zoo is better than Bangkok’s. I was absolutely appalled by the conditions when I went there a few years ago.
Worked in IE8, did not work in Firefox.
Sleeping panda.
I’m on a Mac and it’s not wrking in either FirFox or Safari. :: sniff :: No panda for me?
I must be one of the few people who doesn’t find Pandas cute. They are just to well engineered for cuteness to be real. Kinda like when a company analyzes trends to make a perfect product, it seems patronizing and pandering. I think they all must be animatronic.
It actually is a bit better, although still far from Singapore’s standards. I can’t stand the Bangkok Zoo either, but the wife and I were pleasantly surprised last year by how improved the Chiang Mai Zoo had become since our last visit years and years before.
And they’ve splashed out a lot of money on the pandas at China’s insistence. We should all live so well! I mentioned the electrical tape placed over camera flashes. They also make you walk through a disinfectant solution as you enter the pandas’ compound. It’s not deep, barely covers the soles of your shoes or sandals, but it helps kills any nasty organisms you may be tramping in. And you know how noisy Thais can be; there are staff whose sole job is to keep the crowd quiet so as not to disturb the pandas. Not only are the pandas air-conditioned, but the zoo built a 60-million-baht (US$1.8 million) snow house to keep them even cooler should it be deeemd necessary. That link says there’s a 20-minute time limit in the snow dome, I guess because they have to keep circulating the jackets and gloves they hand out. But in the regular enclosure, which is only 100 baht ($3) for adults, you can stay in as long as you want, but of course once you exit you must pay another admission if you want to go back in. Pre-baby, the wife and I spent a full hour in there watching them, and all they pretty much did was eat and crap.
I think China is keeping close tabs on how the pandas are treated.
It was quite a feat to get the parents to mate, too. Chuang Chuang showed absolutely no interest for the longest time.
Thailand is 7 hours ahead of GMT and, this time of year, 12 hours ahead of the US East Coast. It’s almost 10:30am now, so it’s almost 10:30 last night Eastern Time in the US, almost 7:30pm on the West Coast. Lin Ping is more active during the day of course, but we watched her playing with Mama late last night our time.
Everyone deserves some panda. 
The baby’s on her back right now, eating some bamboo. Cute little bugger!
