I’ve officially dubbed this panda baby the Vienna Sausage; she/he is already starting to live up to the nickname. Just look at that adorable chubby baby. Yang Yang, the cub’s mama, is only the second panda to give birth in Europe, and the first one to naturally conceive. This is the first panda born to Yang Yang and Long Hui which are on loan to the Schönbrunn Zoo from China. More photos after the jump.
Unfortunately, there used to be two Vienna sausages, but the other cub died shortly after birth. The birth of twin pandas is quite common, however both rarely survive due to the mother’s bias to raising only one cub.You can keep up to date with all the latest Vienna panda baby news via their Panda Baby Blog.
