JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — A zoo on Java island released photos of Indonesia's first locally-born giant panda cub, and said the male cub was showing signs of being in good health. The mother, 15-year-old Hu Chun, gave birth to Satrio Wiratama — nicknamed Rio — on November 27 at the zoo's facility in Cisarua, West Java province. The name symbolizes the hope, resilience, and shared commitment of Indonesia and China in protecting endangered species, Taman Safari Indonesia said in a statement Sunday.
