Everland, the theme park and resort south of Seoul, releases the first public photos of a giant panda cub about three weeks old. The images are taken during a routine health assessment conducted the day before the release and show the cub becoming visibly more developed. At birth, the female cub is described as hairless and pink, weighing 171 grams, and by the time of the photo she has darkened patches characteristic of giant pandas, including on her ears, eyes, shoulders and limbs. Everland says the cub arrived on the morning of June 3 at 10:53 a.m. The park notes the birth is the fourth case of a giant panda born naturally in Korea. The cub is the offspring of Ai Bao and Le Bao, Everland’s resident panda pair, and is the younger sibling of Fu Bao, born in 2020, and the twins Rui Bao and Hui Bao, born in 2023. Park veterinarians and keepers report the cub is undergoing a 21-day health check as part of standard care.
