Belgium's baby panda becomes star attraction in zoo
Online Edition
After a long wait of two months, the first panda ever born in Belgium finally made its maiden public appearance and instantly became the star attraction of Pairi Daiza zoo.
On Saturday, his mother Hao Hao decided to take her baby out of the nursery and "show him" to the public. Skittish at first, Hao Hao picked her baby up with her mouth several times, shying away from the crowd of visitors.
Weighing 3,120 g, the baby panda -- nicknamed Baby P -- now looks more like a real panda than a "pink sausage" that people described when he was first born.
Adorable as he is, Baby P is still an infant, unable to do more than sleep and drink milk.
That, however, did not stop a sea of visitors coming to see the adorable little creature. The queue outside the panda cave was hundreds of meters long, with people waiting at least an hour to get a glimpse of the sleeping Baby P.
Pairi Daiza staff told Xinhua that on Sunday, visitors had to wait three to four hours to see the panda cub.
"The baby panda is beautiful," said one little boy. Another girl Rebecca said that it was her fourth time seeing a panda, but the first time seeing a cub.
Although Baby P sleeps during much of the time, his mother doesn't leave his side. When the caregiver led Hao Hao out of the cave to feed her, she became very anxious, walking around the feeding cage and sometimes crawling on the wall fretfully.
"That shows Hao Hao is a good mother," Tanya, the caregiver, told Xinhua, "She does not want to leave her baby for one minute."
