The first giant panda cub born in Indonesia is nursing well and showing signs of good health. Taman Safari Indonesia released videos and photos showing the newborn 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 adult pandas, Cai Tao and Hu Chun, arrived in Indonesia in 2017 on a 10-year conservation partnership with China. There are less than 1900 giant pandas globally.
