Awww! A 100-day-old panda cub is melting hearts at Chimelong Safari Park in Guangzhou City, south China's Guangdong Province. Born to Meng Meng, the eldest of the world's only giant panda triplets, this fluffy female is thriving and ready to make her grand debut! 🎊
On Thursday, the zoo hosted a special celebration for this cute little star's 100-day milestone. The conservation team gave her a checkup and shared some exciting news: she has grown from a tiny 178 grams at birth to over 5 kilograms! Plus, she now has 13 tiny teeth. Talk about a growth spurt! 🦷🌱
\"Our little cub feeds three to four times a day for about five to ten minutes each time,\" said Chen Siming, her devoted panda keeper. \"She sleeps most of the time when she's not eating. We're helping her soak up some sun to boost her bone and muscle growth. Every morning around 8 a.m., we take her outside for a half-hour sunbathing session.\" ☀️🐼
After her checkup, she cozied up on a special \"100-family quilt,\" a patchwork blanket crafted from \"blessing cloth\" brought by visitors. In Cantonese culture, this symbolizes the love and well-wishes of countless families. How sweet is that? ❤️🧵
Exciting news for panda fans: Chimelong Safari Park announced that this adorable cub will officially meet the public during the upcoming National Day holiday! Born on June 18, she's not just any cub; she's the first newborn giant panda at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Pandas this year. Get ready to fall in love! 🥰🎋
