The three-year-old, 123-lb. female has only recently been taken from the wild, yet she seems to be adjusting well to captivity. Her keeper even has hopes that she will soon be able to produce young of her own. But, he insists, Jia Jia, a giant panda, is only a "guest." If all goes well, she and her brood will be set free...
