Zoo Atlanta’s panda cub Po the panda cub turned 2 on Saturday, November 3, with a festive finale for giant panda birthday season. Not to be outdone by the elaborate birthday extravaganzas presented to other members of his family earlier this fall, Po’s human caregivers started weeks in advance on planning an ice cake fit for a celebrity toddler.

Po still lives with his mother, Lun Lun, although he is light-years removed from the furless, featherweight newborn who entered the world with a lusty squeal on November 3, 2010. He now weighs over 100 pounds and dines primarily on bamboo.

Bamboo was one of the treats included in Po’s birthday surprises, along with enriching scents and snacks for the youngster to enjoy – or destroy!
