the name, one of the five proposed for the little panda, received 44 percent of the estimated 200,000 votes cast on the zoo¡¯s website. the little panda went without a name for his first hundred days in observance of a chinese custom. it¡¯s rare for pandas, born in captivity, to live more than a few days, and keeping the animals nameless is seen as a way to trick fate into letting them survive.
the cub wasn¡¯t present at his naming ceremony. the zoo officials said he probably wouldn¡¯t be making his public debut until some time in december. panda fans celebrated tai shan¡¯s day at a zoo ceremony featuring performances by chinese dance troops and martial artists.
