The first baby panda born in South Korea weighs 197 grams and is just 16.5 centimeters long
The seven-year-old female panda named Ai Bao mated with eight-year-old male panda Le Bao, in late March and gave birth to a healthy cub at 21:49 local time on Monday night in Yongin, the zoo said.
In footage released by Everland, Ai Bao was seen crawling along the ground before giving birth and licking the wriggling cub. Giant pandas are one of the world’s most endangered species. Female pandas are able to conceive only once a year for one to three days in March to April, which makes reproduction difficult, the zoo said in a statement.
