Panda Cub Bei Bei to Make Public Debut in January

WARNING: Incoming panda. I repeat, we are at panda code delta. This is not a drill.

Bei Bei, the District’s newest beloved furry panda animal, will make his national debut on Jan. 16, the National Zoo announced today.

And if you’re a Friends of the National Zoo member, you just lucked out. Member previews will be Jan. 8-15.

What a time to be alive.
