Indonesia’s panda cub Rio thriving 40 days after birth
Rio's body weight rose 46% and length 95% in 30 days, reflecting healthy growth after multiple breeding attempts in a conservation partnership with China.
- On Tuesday, a video showed Satrio Wiratama, nicknamed Rio, 40 days after his Nov. 27 birth as veterinarians at Taman Safari park in Cisarua examined him outside the incubator.
- After four natural matings and four artificial inseminations, Hu Chun and Cai Tao arrived in 2017 under a China-Indonesia 10-year conservation partnership linked to `panda diplomacy`.
- Bongot Huaso Mulia said Rio grew 46% in weight and 95% in length over 30 days, and Taman Safari park video shows his change from pink newborn to black-and-white fur.
- Conservationists welcomed the birth given giant pandas' breeding difficulty, and China's Ambassador to Indonesia Wang Lutong said the cub joins the global panda family amid fewer than 1,900 wild pandas.
- They live in an enclosure about 70 kilometers from Jakarta, and park staff said `It really was not easy` after years of effort with the adult pair and cub.
