Giant panda cub Bei Bei will go on public exhibit for the first time on Jan. 16, 2016, the Smithsonian National Zoological Park said in a statement yesterday.

Bei Bei has transformed from a pink hairless cub weighing about 5 ounces to a robust 12.5-pound black-and-white cub capable of crawling and sometimes walking on his own, according to the statement.

The cub, which has been carefully monitored since his birth on Aug. 22, is larger than both his older siblings Bao Bao and Tai Shan were at the same age.
