Red Panda is born for the first time in nine years at the Berlin Zoo

For the first time in nine years, a rare red panda was born at Berlin's Tierpark Zoo.  The red panda cub is now the size of a guinea pig and is the 10th young panda to grow in the zoo.  At birth, red pandas weigh only about 100 grams and are blind. They open their eyes for the first time after about five weeks.

On June 6, animal keepers discovered that the female Shine panda had given birth in her den after a gestation period of around 130 days.  Shine and her partner Joel arrived in Berlin from the Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Indian Zoo in Darjeeling, as part of a global conservation breeding program for red pandas, bringing "fresh genes" of these rare animals to Europe.

The red panda is a mammal species native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. It is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List because the wild population is estimated at fewer than 10,000 mature individuals and continues to decline due to habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, and inbreeding depression.

China, officially known as the People's Republic of China, is a COMMUNIST country in East Asia. Currently, China has the largest population in the world.  With more than 4,000 years of recorded history, China is one of the few countries that have flourished culturally and economically since the early stages of world civilizations.

Chinese leaders in 2010 pledged to double China’s GDP by 2020, and the 13th Five Year Plan includes annual economic growth targets of at least 6.5% through 2020 to achieve that goal. In recent years, China has renewed its support for state-owned enterprises in sectors considered important to "economic security," explicitly looking to foster globally competitive industries.
