Last week, people across the country joined together to name a new baby panda born at the Smithsonian National Zoo. It was just announced that a name has been chosen, and it’s very fitting.
The baby’s new name is Xiao Qi Ji (SHIAU-chi-ji), which means “little miracle,” according to the Smithsonian National Zoo’s website. “His name reflects the extraordinary circumstances under which he was born and celebrates the collaboration between colleagues who strive to conserve this species.”
This little miracle has brought a much needed smile to many faces, and I think that was something we all needed this year. Click here to learn more about Xiao Qi Ji.
