The head of the the zoo said We are really happy about it. We would like to see and monitor the pandas condition, because the cub is in very early stage. We all hope the cub will grow up healthly. Actually, Shin Shin had given birth once five years ago. The first cub needed to stay in incubator and mother Shin Shin stopped taking care of the baby at that time probably becose of fatigue and died 10 days later. The news suddend us all over Japan. This time We hope the baby panda will grow up healthly. Panda came to the Tokyo's Ueno Zoo from China in 1972 for the first time. When the Praime Minister Kakyei Tanaka had singed a diplomatic relations recovery. The pandas were gift from China as a memorial. It remained me of that scune on T.V. Untill then, We Japanese had never seen a panda, that's why it became very popular in Japan. A lot of pepole came to see tha panda at Ueno Zoo. We could only see 40 seconds after standing in a long line. I think, Panda is still the cutest animals. | | | | |
