Video: Baby giant panda growing healthily in China The four month old giant panda was born to mother Ya Ya on September 4th last year. The little giant panda has grown to 7 kilograms since its birth. Taken care of by its mother, it is fed every few hours. It's in good health and its physical strength is growing gradually. Sometimes it even sucks her mother's breast when she is sleeping and exercises by itself. It sometimes imitates its mother which is very cute," said Hu Youlin, a giant panda keeper at Chongqing Zoo. The giant panda cub has to live in the panda maternity ward at the moment and it will be some time before it makes its public debut, says Hu.
