The cub is yet to be named – but a suggestions are rolling in with an announcement to be made on September 9.
Keepers at the Shanghai Wildlife Park are yet to introduce their special baby to visitors, letting protective mum Guo-Guo call the shots.
‘[We] need to make sure she is emotionally ready to allow her cub to meet people,’ said Min Yingguo, director of the park’s Animal Management Department.
