Panda moms really have to have alot of patience. They often find themselves being attacked, bitten and climbed on as their cubs grow and become more aware of their abilities. We've seen this played out in all types of animals where the young are playing with their mothers.
Thanks to jdbartross of flickr, who is currently visiting with the Zoo Atlanta panda family and shared these photos of Xi Lan and Lun Lun on their flickr site.
Here's Xi Lan, born August 30, 2008, looking pretty innocent at the water well.
Poor mom, Lun Lun is just trying to get a drink of water!
Lun takes it all in stride.
