Newborn giant panda at Everland
These combined photos, released Wednesday, show a giant panda born at Everland in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. The theme park said the 16.5 centimeter cub was born to Chinese female Ai Bao, Monday, and was sired by Le Bao. This is the first case of a Giant panda being born in Korea. Giant pandas are one of the species that are difficult to breed, as female pandas enter estrus only once a year, for one to three days on average. Everland said it will not allow public viewing of the cub for a while but will release photos through its SNS accounts. Courtesy of Everland
