New Delhi: In a miraculous incident, a Chinese giant panda Hao Hao, has given birth to a rare male panda cub in the early hours of Thursday morning at the Paira Daiza wildlife park, Belgium, according to Reuters reports.
As per zoo officials this is an extremely rare event as pandas normally loose sexual appetite in captivity and therefore do not find it comfortable to mate inside the cage.
The birth took place after six-year-old Hao Hao got artificially inseminated from her mate Xing Hui under the supervision of Chinese and local experts.
Environmentalists think that the birth of new panda will help in boosting the population of this endangered species as barely 2,000 are left worldwide.
