On the morning of 14 August 2021, our first baby panda was born to our female
giant panda Jia Jia. It was her first pregnancy and the birth of a cub is a significant milestone in the care of the giant panda in Singapore. The cub was named Le Le when it received the majority of votes in an online poll. The word “Le” comes from “Shi Le Po”, an ancient Chinese name for Singapore.
