Zoo Celebrates 4th Birthday Of Giant Panda (Photos)
It's hard to believe the Washington, D.C., panda was the size of a stick of butter 4 years ago, but now the 200-pound bear celebrated his birthday on Thursday with his own cake and about 100 adoring fans.
Tai Shan enjoyed his "cake" -- a frozen treat made of water, bamboo, shredded beets and beet juice.
Tai Shan, which is Chinese for "butterstick," was the first panda cub to survive after birth at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park and the third to live after birth in captivity in the United States.
