A panda from the breeding center in Wolong, Sichuan Province, makes its public debut in Shandong Province after settling into its new home at the Jinan Zoo yesterday. The 17-year-old female panda has given birth to seven cubs in the Wolong center.

Another adopted giant panda adopted by the zoo in April, 35-year-old Tao Tao, the oldest panda in captivity on the Chinese mainland, eats bamboo leaves in its cage.
