San Diego Zoo’s new baby panda got its first check up this morning and proved to be as healthy as can be.
From the San Diego Zoo:
A giant panda cub at the San Diego Zoo received its first veterinary exam this morning.

Vets were able to listen to the cub’s heart and lungs – which sounded good – but were not able to determine the sex.
