Taipei, July 22 (CNA) A giant panda cub that was born almost one month ago at Taipei Zoo has been given the nickname Jou Jou (柔柔) because of its gentle nature and chubbiness, zookeepers said Wednesday.

The cub, born to Yuan Yuan on June 28, appears to have inherited the calm and quiet nature of its father Tuan Tuan, the zookeepers said, referring to two giant pandas that China gave to Taiwan in 2008 amid warmer relations.

According to Taipei Zoo, Jou Jou weighed 565.6 grams on July 17 and has been growing well, remaining quite chubby.

Jou Jou has been under the care of handlers because of an injury to her back that she sustained during her birth, but it has healed, and the cub will soon be returned to her mother, the zoo said.    [FULL  STORY]
