The cub was born on June 18 at the Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park. Since birth, it has grown from 178 grams to 423.5 grams as of Monday, showing healthy conditions, according to the park's conservation team.

"The cub cried loudly at birth, appeared normal, and was in good health," said Chen Shuqing, a giant panda conservation expert at the park.

The conservation team conducts daily physical examinations on the cub, meticulously recording its growth data. "The cub's white fur has grown on the pink skin, and the areas around its eyes, ears, shoulders and limbs have started turning black," said Chen.

Since the establishment of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Guangdong province, the park has bred 11 cubs. 

The world's only surviving giant panda triplets, Mengmeng, Shuaishuai and Kuku, were born in the park in 2014, earning it the nickname "Panda Paradise".
