A baby giant panda nicknamed Yuan Zai was born a month ago in Taipei Zoo, Taiwan. Zoo keepers had to separate the panda cub from her mother, Yuan Yuan, to be raised in an incubator.
The panda cub needed care and round-the-clock monitoring after she was slightly injured a few days after birth. This video shows what happened when mother and daughter were reunited. It’s heart-warming.
Zookeepers had been taking special care with Yuan Zai because the conception was so difficult, requiring artificial insemination, and because, when panda cubs are born, they are highly susceptible to disease and smothering by their much larger mothers.
