Taiwan zoo shows off panda cub
Print Edition
A second Taiwan-born giant panda made her media debut on Monday, clambering over a wooden climbing frame and playing with sawdust to the sound of clicking cameras.
The cub was born on June 28 to Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, who were gifted by China鈥檚 mainland in 2008. Their names combine to mean 鈥渞eunion鈥 or 鈥渦nity.鈥
Yuan Bao, which means 鈥渞ound baby鈥 in Chinese, was unveiled to some 150 reporters and invited guests alongside her mother at Taipei Zoo. Taipei mayor Ko Wen-je said the cub had 鈥済rown well.鈥
She now weighs over 13kg, up from 186 grams at birth.
Taiwan鈥檚 zoo has seen a flurry of births this year, including a gorilla, koala, Malayan tapir and pangolin.
Yuan Yuan gave birth to a daughter Yuan Zai in 2013, the first giant panda born in Taiwan. The family has been the top attraction at the zoo. According to the World Wildlife Fund, just over 1,800 are believed remaining in the wild.
