It's a stick up! The adorable moment San Diego panda plays with its new toys as it has medical exam

Even good little pandas deserve new toys for the holidays - especially while triumphantly passing their latest medical exam.
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.

Busy boy: Panda Cub Xiao Liwu is seen enjoying a stick of bamboo while turning a plastic tube into a chair during his examination by San Diego zoo veterinarians

'Everything looks good he's still a little on the smaller side but overall he's in good body condition, everything's growing,' said Meg Sutherland-Smith, associate director of veterinary services for the San Diego Zoo.
The 19-week-old panda who’s now teething weighed 14 pounds when he was brought in for his weekly veterinary exam on 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.

Roly poly: Holding onto a green ball tightly by the paws, the 19-week old cub also kept himself busy rolling around on the floor as vets did their best to take his measurements

The vets reported the tube being a terrific way to keep him stationary while taking his measurements – opposed to his roly-poly antics also seen while wrapped around a small green ball.
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.
