It was a "beary" special day at Zoo Atlanta. On Tuesday, actor Jack Black and children from Parkside Elementary School helped name the baby panda born at the zoo last year in a 100 Day Giant Panda Club celebration. The baby bear's name is Po.

Actor Jack Black was at Zoo Atlanta in Grant Park Tuesday for a very special naming ceremony of the baby panda born last year.

The birth gave Atlanta the distinction and bragging rights for being home to the only U.S. zoo that had a panda birth in 2010.

The panda, named "Po," shares his moniker with the lead character in the upcoming film "Kung Fu Panda 2."

Black, seen here getting some assistance with the kids at nearby Parkside Elementary School, is the voice of Po in the movie.
