A zoo in Belgium had an exciting moment as a three month old panda cub took his first steps in. The adorable baby panda, currently only named Baby P, is seen struggling as he attempts to right himself and take his first panda steps.
Pairi Daiza, a zoo in Brugelette, Belgium, is now asking for the publics help in naming the new arrival. His birth in June was heralded as a miracle with it being only the third panda cub born in a European zoo.
Giant Pandas are classified as endangered, with the IUCNs Red List saying there are only between 1,000 and 2,000 left. Keepers are currently calling the cub Baby P but are hoping to enlist the publics help in choosing a Chinese name for the recent arrival.
The five choices are Tian Bao (Heavens Treasure); Xing Hao (Good Star); Ou Xing (Star of Europe); Hua Li (China and Belgium); An Tuan (Peace United) – the top three names will then be given over to the carers, who will make the final decision.
Since the day of its birth on June 2nd 2016,we called our panda cub Baby P. Now time has come to choose a real name for it, the zoo said. The three names that receive most votes will then be submitted to the team who worked so hard to help achieve our first panda cub – The Panda Team.
