In this photo provided by the San Diego Zoo showing the panda cub at the San Diego Zoo during his fifth veterinary exam on Friday Sept.20,2012. The male panda, born on July 29, 2012, weighed 4.9 pounds (2.26 kilograms), nearly a pound more than he weighed during the last exam. Veterinarians recorded that the cub’s eyes are almost open now and believe the cub can see but is likely limited to viewing light and shadows. The San Diego Zoo follows the Chinese cultural tradition of naming the giant panda after it is 100 days old.
