On June 25th, we welcomed little Wei Wei who was born 113 grams or a quarter pound. Despite being born the size of a stick of butter, she is perfectly healthy! In fact, they are usually born 1/900th the size of their mother. Despite growing up to 330 pounds as an adult, they are excellent at climbing trees. The birth of little Wei Wei is another sign of the improving panda population. In 2016, after decades of being endangered, the population has grown to improve its status to vulnerable. As we continue rehabilitating the Panda population, we hope for further success in not just the Pandas, but to prevent the extinction and endangerment of many more wonderful species.
