AP Photos: Panda cub Bao Bao growing as expected

WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Zoo says panda cub Bao Bao (bow bow) is growing just as she should be.

The Associated Press got an up-close look Tuesday at the nearly 5-month-old cub born in Washington. Bao Bao weighs about 17.4 pounds and measures 52 centimeters from head to tail. She is wider in the middle at 63 centimeters around her belly. All normal, according to panda statistics.
