Survival fears for giant panda cub born in Tokyo zoo

The zoo released a blurry photo of the mother with the tiny head and limbs of her cub also visible.

A giant panda cub has been born in a zoo in Japan, but its gender, weight and even whether it will survive are uncertain.

The mother, ShinShin, whose previous cub survived only six days, was holding her newborn in her paw but whether the cub was nursing was not clear, Ueno Zoo in Tokyo said in a statement.
