New Baby Panda in Japan

 


Adventure World in Shirahama, Wakayama Prefecture announced a male giant panda cub was born on Sunday.  The baby is 20.5 centimeters and weighs 157 grams.  The zoo said mother and cub are doing well.  I was surprised they could give so much information so quickly.  The National Zoo in Washington DC waited quite a while before examining the new cub or separating it from its mother. 


The cub's father is 28 year old Eimei, who is the oldest panda father in captivity.

Baby pandas are amazingly small! I am sure you will follow the health and progress of this little one with great interest.
