Xiao Liwu, a male giant panda, checks out his birthday cake – actually ice topped with a big ice “2” and filled with favorite treats including apples, carrot and yam slices – as he turns two years old Tuesday, July 29, 2014, at the San Diego Zoo. Xiao Liwu's (pronounced sshyaoww lee woo) four-foot-tall, 100-pound cake was made by the Zoo's nutritional services team. Xiao Liwu appeared to specifically enjoy the pieces of sliced apples, carrots and yams atop the cake, then patiently waited for the ice to melt so he could eat the fruit frozen into the ice tiers. The San Diego Zoo is home to three giant pandas: Xiao Liwu, his mother, Bai Yun and father, Gao Gao. Giant pandas are on a research loan to the San Diego Zoo from the People�s Republic of China.
