SOUTHWEST China's Sichuan Province has had its first giant panda cub born this year, a spokesperson with the China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center in Wolong said yesterday.
The male cub was born about 10am on Thursday at the Wolong center's Bifengxia base in Ya'an reserve.
After 24 hours of observation, both the mother and the cub were in good health.
The cub's mother, called Zhuyun, mated with a male named Lingling in March and began to show signs of cub-birth in mid-June.
It is Zhuyun's second cub. Her first cub, Minmin, is among the 10 giant pandas sent to Shanghai for the World Expo.
Both Zhuyun and Lingling belong to the Wolong center.
Giant pandas are among the world's most endangered species, with about 1,590 pandas living in the wild, mostly in the mountains of Sichuan, and about 210 living in captivity.
