BREAKING: Area Panda Cub Sulks in Plastic Bin

Good morning. Here’s a photo of Bei Bei sulking in a box.

“Bei Bei weighed 9.5 lbs on Fri!” tweeted the Smithsonian National Zoo yesterday afternoon. “He’s still working on building up his rear leg strength.”

Zoo officials added that the panda cub’s mother, Mei Xiang, has been leaving him on the rock work in her indoor enclosure for safe-keeping.

They did not say whether they might soon photograph the tiny panda sulking in a bag or posed atop a decorative tray.
