Xiao Liwu, the giant panda cub at the San Diego Zoo, passed his medical exam with flying colours this week while mutually showing off his new toys and adorable poses for future zoo-goers.
Seen gnawing on a stick of bamboo while dropping himself into a doughnut-shaped ring as a chair, the nearly five-month-old panda cub planted smiles on all the vets' faces, especially after seeing his positive results.

The 19-week-old panda who’s now teethingweighed 14 pounds when he was brought in for his weekly veterinary examon Thursday morning. They still expect him to still be nursing for another year.
After scattering a few items around the room for him, the panda cub was said to have readily recognized the plastic ring as a new addition to the vet’s toy collection, prompting him to quickly plant himself inside.
Chewing on the supplied stick of bamboo, the cub’s wide eyes stayed attentive on a swarm of adoring flash bulbs capturing his many wobbly poses inside the plastic tube.
'He really looked too cute in that, I have to say,' said Sutherland-Smith of his poses.
Later a tree branch was placed on the floor for him to be used as not just a plaything, unbeknownst to him, but to demonstrate his climbing skills for keepers.
'He's getting past his awkward movement phase. He's walking around with much more confidence, he's not stumbling anymore. And today we also gave him a small piece of a bamboo stem which he readily held in his hand and he was mouthing like he was a big boy,’ Ms Sutherland-Smith said.
