A giant panda cub has been born at a zoo in Belgium, an event so rare it is being described a “true miracle”. The healthy male cub was born at a wildlife park outside Brussels to six-year-old Hao Hao and her mate Xing Hui, both on loan from China. The cub, which is hairless, blind and weighs just 171g (6oz), is yet to be named. There are only 1,864 giant pandas worldwide, and about 300 live in zoos to protect the species. BBC
