Since 2014, the giant pandas “Xinghui” and “Haohao”, who have lived at Pairi Daiza, have given birth to three cubs. On June 2, 2016, “Haohao” gave birth to a male cub “Tianbao” in Belgium. “Tianbao” weighed only 171 grams at birth, and now weighs 100 kilograms. On August 8, 2019, “Hao Hao” gave birth to twins “Baodi” and “Baomei”. Now the five giant pandas are the brightest stars in Belgium.
