@china360_: Congratulations on this wonderful arrival! China has welcomed its very first captive-born giant panda cub of 2026, as the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda announced on Wednesday. The cub was born about a week ago to 6.5-year-old En En at the Wolong Shenshuping Base in southwest China's Sichuan Province, following a natural mating in January. According to center officials, the cub is energetic, and En En is showing strong maternal instincts. This birth marks the beginning of the annual panda breeding season, which usually peaks from July to September. #latestnews #panda #giantpanda #pandacub #wildchina
