This is a photo I took a little less than a year ago of Tai Shan, a giant panda cub (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. You can see the pandas at the National Zoo via a webcam on the official website.

I honestly don't know, other than that it is not Tai Shan. This one was in the first of the enclosures (on the right), but I did not see a name.

this picture definitely needs to be submitted to lolcats.

I'd say Tian Tian, due to the description of Mei Xiang. Although the foliage is somewhat in the way.
