A month-old baby panda in China has been given its first health check by doctors.

The cub at Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park was weighed, measured and had its temperature taken by doctors at the zoo.

The panda is said to be healthy, measuring 23 cm and weighing 1,250 grams. Although the sex cannot yet be determined, it is thought to be a baby girl.
