A fluffy bundle of joy has arrived at Chongqing Zoo! Haoqi, a 10-year-old giant panda, gave birth to a healthy female cub on June 28—marking the zoo’s 32nd successful panda litter since the 1980s!
A Star Is Born
Weighing just 185 grams at birth (lighter than a smartphone ), the cub has already tripled her weight to 772 grams with mom Haoqi’s care and round-the-clock help from zoo staff. Officials confirmed the cub’s gender this week—no name yet, but the internet is already voting for 'Mini Haoqi'!
Meet Haoqi
Born at the zoo in 2013, Haoqi is a seasoned pro—this is her second delivery after welcoming twins in 2021. Her latest cub adds to Chongqing Zoo’s legacy as a panda-breeding powerhouse, contributing to global conservation efforts for this beloved endangered species.
Why This Matters
Giant pandas remain a symbol of wildlife preservation, and every birth is a win for biodiversity. With only 1,800 pandas left in the wild, zoos like Chongqing play a vital role in safeguarding their future. Want to visit? Plan your trip—this cub will be ready to meet fans by 2024!
