Shu Bao, the newest addition to Everland's panda family, will make her public debut this week, marking her first steps outside her indoor enclosure at the age of five months. The news was announced by Everland, a resort operated by Samsung C&T Resort Group, on Monday. Born on June 3 to parents Ai Bao and Le Bao, Shu Bao is not only the youngest member but also the fourth panda cub born in Korea, following her sisters Fu Bao and twin pandas Rui Bao and Hui Bao.
Weighing just 171 grams at birth, Shu Bao has grown considerably, now tipping the scales at over 9 kilograms. Her growth is attributed to the nurturing care of her mother Ai Bao, zookeepers, and veterinarians. Shu Bao took her first shaky steps around 120 days old, and more recently, she has been moving around independently near her mother, actively exploring her surroundings.
To ensure a smooth transition to the public eye, Shu Bao has been gradually acclimated to new spaces and environments. This process involves expanding her range of activities, following closely behind her mother from the indoor enclosure, signaling her readiness for her public debut.
