The Smithsonian Institution had taken the photo on November 22, 2013, showing panda cub Bao Bao as she receives a check up earlier in the week, at the Smithsonian National Zoo, in Washington, D.C., December 1, 2013.

Zoo officials announced her name today at a ceremony Sunday with China's ambassador as the female cub turns 100 days old, following Chinese tradition.

Voters selected Bao Bao, which can means "hugs", "baby", "precious", or "treasure," from five Mandarin Chinese name options.
