"It's a kid!" author and CEO of Pairi Daiza, Eric Domb, said amid a news meeting. "Everything went incredibly well."

Smooth, visually impaired and weighing only 6 ounces (171 grams), the anonymous offspring was depicted as "somewhat pink frankfurter" by Tim Bouts, the recreation center's zoological executive, as indicated by Reuters.

Instantly after the offspring was conceived, Hao scooped it up in her mouth, cleaned the small one and held it near her body, as indicated by zoo staff.

The mammoth panda is considered at danger of elimination by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). In that capacity, "the panda is a genuine wonder," zoo authorities said in a joint explanation with the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda.
