webcam on pandas at The Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, D.C.

Viewing this webcam during daylight hours, you might see panda mama Mei Xiang (may-SHONG) and her male cub, Tai Shan--whose name means "peaceful mountain"--eating bamboo or sleeping.  If you’re particularly lucky, you might even see her newest baby cub.  Take your pick of two cameras.  Warning:  the pandas do a lot of sleeping.
