Mei Xiang continues to throw us curve balls this year. Last week she exhibited behaviors consistent with coming out of a pseudopregnancy, including increased appetite and awareness, and spending time outside of her den. However, last Thursday morning, she “denned up” again, spending almost all of her time in her nest area, eating very little, and sleeping even more than usual.
