The Smithsonian's National Zoo is naming its female giant panda cub Bao Bao after receiving more than 123,000 votes online from the public to help give its new cub an identity. Panda mother Mei Xiang has been caring for her cub in the panda den since she was born Aug. 23. The names were submitted by Chinese Ambassador Cui Tiankai, U.S. Ambassador to China Gary Locke, panda keepers at the National Zoo, the fundraising group Friends of the National Zoo and the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. The new birth has given zoo scientists renewed confidence in the Washington pandas' ability to help grow the panda species.
