Japan's capital city's popular Ueno Zoo says the panda was born Thursday. The 7-year-old mother was brought to Japan from China just before Japan's devastating earthquake and tsunami last year.Zoo officials say the pair appear to be in good health but will be monitored around the clock.Shin Shin is doing a good job as a mother, nursing her new cub and even holding it while she sleeps.The new addition to the panda family brought in big numbers of onlookers during its first week in the world.Giant pandas have a low birth rate and artificial insemination has been common in captive breeding programs.A breeding expert at the Panda Center in Sichuan province, where Shin Shin grew up, arrived Thursday and joined the team.Shin Shin and her mate, Ri Ri, are on loan from China for 10 years. According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the cub will be sent to China in two years.
