Proud mama panda bear Shin Shin munched on bamboo as her new baby panda cub named Xiang Xiang was unveiled to the public at Tokyo's Ueno Zoo on Monday. Journalists and a group of school children were able to get a glimpse of the six-month-old baby cub playing and climbing a tree. This marks the first time in almost three decades that a panda cub at Ueno Zoo has lived to see six months.

Twin panda cubs Fu Feng and Fu Ban went on their first walk outside of their indoor enclosure at Vienna's Schoenbrunn Zoo on Tuesday and made their first appearance to the adoring public. The young pandas are almost seven months old, but despite their impressive climbing skills, the twin cubs were not allowed out into the open until now. A large number of journalists and visitors greeted the animals on their outing, making sure that their first adventure outside would be memorable. Their mother Yang Yang watched on closely as her cubs attempted to climb to the highest points of the outdoor enclosure. After the three-hour walkabout, the zoo keepers picked Fu Feng and Fu Ban up and brought them back inside their compound. The baby pandas will get some much needed rest before exploring their compound once more.
Video provided courtesy of Munich Hellabrunn Zoo shows the moment that the zoo's new baby polar bear showed herself to public for the first time in the outdoor tundra enclosure on Friday. Closely accompanied by her mother Giovanna, the 14 week old cub faced zoo visitors for the first and appeared happy and ready for the new adventure. Now that the fluffy little cub is old enough to brave the outdoor enclosure, zoo staff decided the moment was right to bring the little white bear out in front of visitors. She was closely accompanied by her mother as she explored and pottered around, playing in the woodchip and clambering over the rocks and grass of her pen. Zoo staff have not yet given a name to their new cub, but bear will soon receive a name beginning with the letter 'Q'. All animals born at the Munich Hellabrunn Zoo in 2016 receive a name beginning with the same letter. The zoo has put together a list of seven of their favorite names and have asked visitors to vote for their favorite. The zoo hopes the baby bear will encourage onlookers to take a greater interest in endangered species. Polar bears live in fragile habitats, which are being threatened by global warming and melting polar ice caps.
