Panda mom carries newborn in her mouth at Belgium zoo

BRUSSELS, June 3 (UPI) -- A Belgian zoo has shared the first footage of a newborn giant panda cub being carried in the mouth of its mother, Hao Hao.

The Pairi Daiza wildlife park, located outside Brussels, said 7-year-old Hao Hao gave birth Thursday to a male cub weighing in at 6.03 ounces.

"Less than 2,000 pandas can be found in the wild, making every birth a true miracle," the zoo said in a statement.

Hao Hao was artificially inseminated at the zoo in February with the genetic material of a male panda named Xing Hui.
