ATLANTA --- Zoo Atlanta officials are trying to find a way to turn the PandaCam back on.
The online camera gave close-up views of Atlanta's panda family. Officials turned it off Dec. 31 to save money.
Spokesman Marcus Margerum says officials will know within two weeks whether it's possible to bring back the PandaCam.
Visitors making the trip to the zoo can get a look at the 4-month-old giant panda cub, Xi Lan. Mei Lan got all the attention until baby brother Xi Lan was born. Xi Lan wobbled into public view last week.
In 2007, the year after Mei Lan's birth, the zoo drew 830,000 visitors.
The zoo expects 770,000 visits in 2009 -- less than in 2007, but 30,000 more than last year's attendance.
