KUALA LUMPUR (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 1st Jun, 2021 ) :Liang Liang, the female giant panda on loan from China to Malaysia, has given birth to a third baby giant panda, the country's wildlife department said on Tuesday.
The cub was born late on Monday at the Giant Panda Conservation Center at Malaysia's National Zoo near Kuala Lumpur, the department said in a statement.
