KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — A
baby panda born in a Malaysian zoo five
months ago has made her public debut.
The female, which has not yet been
named, is the second offspring of giant
pandas Liang Liang and Xing Xing, both of
which are on a 10-year loan to Malaysia
that began in 2014.
The first cub, a female called Nuan Nuan
born in August 2015, was sent back to
China last November as part of a deal with
Beijing to return cubs born in captivity at
age two.

filmed the cub in an air-conditioned
enclosure at the national zoo through a
glass shield. Zoologists said the healthy
cub weighs 19.8 pounds.
Zoo officials say the giant panda pair
broke the world record for a second baby in
four years via natural reproduction.
Malaysia’s national zoo has invested
hundreds of thousands of dollars on a
panda complex, including bamboo trees
mimicking their natural habitat, after
China loaned the cub’s parents to mark 40
years of diplomatic relations with
Malaysia.
According to WWF, there are 1,864 giant
pandas in the wild, living mainly in
bamboo forests high in the mountains of
western China and subsisting almost
entirely on bamboo.
The pair arrived just weeks after a
Malaysian plane carrying 239 people,
mostly Chinese citizens, disappeared in
March 2014 while flying from Kuala
Lumpur to Beijing. Chinese media at the
time criticized the Malaysian government
and Malaysia Airlines over their handling
of the tragedy. The jet still has not been
found.
