Need a smile? Watch the pandas at the National Zoo

" You are watching live images of Mei Xiang, a giant panda, and her cub, Tai Shan, at the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, D.C. The cub was born at 3:41 a.m. on Saturday, July 9. Zoo keepers were happy to see Mei Xiang cradling and cuddling her cub only two minutes after its birth.

Tai Shan received his name, which means "peaceful mountain," on Monday, Oct. 17. A total of 202,000 people voted in the naming contest, with "Tai Shan" earning 44 percent of the vote."
