This photograph taken on August 28, 2017, shows female panda Huan Huan holding her cub inside her enclosure at The Beauval Zoo in Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher, central France. Female panda gave birth to twins on August 4, 2017, but one died soon afterwards. Nine-year-old Huan Huan and her male partner Yuan Zi arrived at Beauval zoo in January 2012 on a 10-year loan from China after intense, high-level negotiations between Paris and Beijing. Huan Huan (meaning “happy”) and Yuan Zi (“chubby”) are the only giant pandas living in France.

Breeding pandas is notoriously difficult and this is the first time a cub has been born in France. (Photo by Guillaume Souvant/AFP Photo)
