A wildlife park in Lanzhou City, northwest China's Gansu Province, has succeeded in artificial breeding of a giant panda in captivity recently.
At the Lanzhou Wildlife Park, the cub born to the giant panda named "Man Lan" is about to reach one month old.
The panda cub weighed just over 100 grams when it was born.
Now, it has begun developing the distinctive physical traits of a giant panda: its limbs, shoulder girdle, and eye sockets have turned black, and its weight has reached nearly 1,300 grams.
After the one-month mark, the incubator will be gradually opened to the outside world to help the cub acclimate to the environment, eventually leading to its full exit from the enclosure.
The park now has five giant pandas.
Since Man Lan is a first-time mother with no prior rearing experience, the cub requires artificial care.
The zoo has designated an exclusive team to provide 24-hour monitoring of the mother-cub pair, regularly measuring the cub's growth indicators while strictly controlling environmental factors like temperature and humidity within the enclosure.
"We measure its growth indicators once every five days and weigh it daily. Currently, its weight and overall physical conditions are both healthy. Animals require specific conditions to adapt to their environment. Only when they perceive the environment as suitable for survival will they feel secure enough to reproduce," said An Xiaojuan, a keeper at the park.

Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have reaffirmed that they will not seek normalization of ties with Israel, rejecting U.S. President Donald Trump's call for the two countries to join the Abraham Accords.
Saudi Arabia's position on the Palestinian issue remains unchanged, a Saudi source told Al Arabiya TV on Monday.
The source affirmed the need for "an irreversible pathway to a Palestinian state".
The remarks came after U.S. President Donald Trump urged Muslim-majority and regional countries to normalize relations with Israel and join the Abraham Accords before the U.S. reaches a peace agreement with Iran.
Saudi Arabia has repeatedly said it would not normalize relations with Israel without the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said on Tuesday that Pakistan will not join any agreement to normalize ties with Israel, adding that the country will not accept any deal that "conflicts with its fundamental ideologies".
Trump on Monday urged Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey and Pakistan -- countries involved in mediating U.S.-Iran talks -- to immediately join the Abraham Accords, warning that otherwise they should not participate in the mediation.
He added that if a U.S.-Iran deal is reached, Iran should also join the agreement.
The Abraham Accords, brokered by the United States in 2020 during Trump's first term, were established between the Israeli government and Arab countries including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco, aimed at rapidly advancing the normalization of relations between Israel and Arab countries.
Before the outbreak of the latest round of Israeli-Palestinian conflict in October 2023, the United States had been pushing for normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
After the conflict erupted, Saudi Arabia suspended normalization talks with Israel.
