On May 27th Taipei Zoo's panda Lin Hui gave birth to the first panda cub of the year. On the 10th of August she was name Lin Bing which means forest of ice.

Her name was chosen from a short list of four names by 13.2 million of the 22 million post card votes that were sent in.

Once again thanks to Chet for finding the news. You really do need to be up early to beat her.
