The first giant panda cub born in Indonesia is noisy, nursing well and showing other signs of good health, the conservation park where he was born said on Sunday.
Indonesian Safari Park released video and photos showing the fuzzy newborn in an incubator and squirming and squealing while being cuddled by his mother.
The mother, 15-year-old Hu Chun, gave birth to Satrio Wiratama – nicknamed Rio – on November 27 at the park in Cisarua, West Java province.

The name symbolises the hope, resilience, and shared commitment of Indonesia and China in protecting endangered species, the park said in a statement.
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto announced the baby panda’s name on Thursday and showed his photo when he met Wang Huning, a top Chinese political adviser and leading ideologist.
