Guess what? 🎉 A brand-new baby panda was born in China! 🐼
On June 21 at 11:50 p.m., the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) welcomed the first panda cub of 2025! The proud mom, Linglang, became a mother for the first time. Isn’t that exciting? 😃
Linglang’s story gets even better! After meeting Yaxing, the dad panda, in early March, she gave birth to a tiny, adorable cub. The experts at the panda center say that Linglang is doing an amazing job taking care of her baby. “She adeptly cradles and protects her cub, grooming it carefully,” said Deputy Director Wu Honglin.
Both mom and baby are healthy and happy, and the veterinary teams are keeping a close eye on them. 🩺❤️
Did you know? Back in 1983, there were only six pandas at the CCRCGP. But thanks to their hard work in helping pandas have babies in a safe place (we call this ‘captive breeding’), there are now over 380 pandas there! That’s a lot of pandas! 🎉🐼🐼🐼
This new baby panda gives us hope for these amazing animals. Pandas are special and need our help to survive. Every new cub is a big step forward! 🌟
