Janet, your comment about the idiot Jeff being a yankee b/c he doesn’t care was out of line. I’m a northerner and I do not share the same sentiments as our buddy Jeff. Secondly, calling someone a Yankee is so 1880. It’s 2007, use the proper term. As for Jeff, he’s only posting those rude remarks for the controversy. Congratulations Jeff! You’re a genius. Pun intended….

If you would all stick to the point, that would be the Panda, and quit humoring Jeff by giving him the attention he is after, he will eventually get bored and go somwhere else. Its just like dealing with my 5 year old. The Panda is such a great addition, we are driving up from Florida this weekend to see it live instead of on the TV. My daughter loves it.

I think the bears will bond after time…its sort of like when a mom gives her kid up for adoption, and later her kid finds her. It’s awkward for a while, but then you get used to it.

The next time you are in a crowd of 1500-2000 people, just think about this: that’s how many Giant Pandas there are left in the world! This very elusive, peaceful, shy creature is a symbol of peace and kindness all over the world. That’s why it’s important to celebrate the birth of these rare animals! Mei Lan is very special to the world, not just to Zoo Atlanta and our city.

Imagine the sad faces around here the day Mei Lan gets sent back to China or to another zoo. Or, is there a chance she could stay here forever?

I have watched the Panda Cam since Mei Lan was born. I can’t wait to see her in person. She is simply precious. Some human mothers should take lessons from Lun Lun regarding unconditional love and take care of their babies just as well. No one taught her, it was all instinct. Well done Lun Lun.

I’m a big fan of the panda and think she’s great. But, please people, stop calling her a bear. Pandas are not bears. Yes, they call the baby a cub, but aren’t pandas actually in the raccoon family?

I feel sorry for the bloke named Jeff. How unfortunate he couldn’t use the panda experience as a learning one; perhaps he knows all about giant pandas already. We here in Calgary AB Canada are thoroughly enjoying what we see with the baby and her mom, not to mention the great coverage by AJC. THANKS TO ALL for providing the opportunity.

Liasmom— as of 1999- Giant Panda Bears have been classified as bears. They are in the Family Ursidae (the bear family). Therefore— Zoo Atlanta is correct in calling her a cub and a bear.

Jeff, it would appear you are just ignorant. Every one of your posts contains a misspelling. As you appear to be a Tech fan, there are only two logical conclusions. You either aren’t smart enough to go to Tech or you attended there and their standards have dropped. Stop picking on the pandas, Ralph and the people who want to share some good news for a change.

Lol. All of these comments about arguing are pointless. Jeff, honestly in the beginning your comment about it being just a bear, if you didn’t like the panda, why did you leave a comment in the first place? You didn’t have to complain to a bunch of people who obviously like pandas.

And secondly, it’s actually hard to breed captivated Pandas so the birth is truly rare and beautiful in the U.S.. That’s why it is front page news.

Now please, can these comments stay on subject about the Panda and not ganging up on someone who disagrees. =]

I think Mei Lan is adorable. <3 Huge Panda Fan.
