The mother giant panda Cao Cao showed signs of pregnancy since July 1 and finally gave birth to the cub at the Hetaoping semi-wild training base, according to the CCRCGP.

Since July 28 the staff of the CCRCGP had started taking it in turns to observe the mother giant panda around the clock.

The female cub weighed 216 grams, which is an unusually high weight but means it is very healthy.
