Chinnews.cn, Shanghai, April 3 (Chen Jing, Ni Li) The first red panda cub born since Shanghai Wild Animal Park was built turned one year old on April 3. The red panda cub has been named 'Goutou' (Grape).
It is reported that although some zoos in China also raise red pandas, few can successfully breed baby red pandas. It is introduced that 'Goutou's' mother is 'Wu Mao' (Five Mao), who is 16 years old; her father is 'Shen Gui' (God Turtle), who is 19 years old.
'Goutou' and his mother are living happily together. Ni Li photographed. On 'Goutou's' birthday, the park organized a 'birthday party' for him. Through the birthday party, the park invited suggestions for the red panda cub's name, which were 'An An, Yuan Yuan, Goutou'. 'An An': Hope the red panda cub grows up peacefully and healthily in the park; 'Yuan Yuan': Hope the baby's life in the park is doubly happy and prosperous; 'Goutou': Because it is the red panda cub's favorite fruit, it also means 'prosperous descendants', which hopes it will branch out and have many descendants.
Mom and 'Goutou' are living happily together. Ni Li photographed. 'Goutou' and 'Goutou' were called excitedly by the keepers. The red panda cub seemed to know that it had a name and gave a 'response' look. The park expressed hope that 'Goutou' will grow up healthily and happily in the park, and that it will branch out and have many descendants.
