On Thursday, the city's Schoenbrunn Zoo declared that Vienna's new baby panda will be named Fu Bao or Happy Leopard in Mandarin. The baby panda has been given a name three months after his birth.

The small furball caused excitement at the time of his birth on August 14. This was the birth of the third panda in the zoo in past six years. Schoenbrun is the only zoo in Europe where pandas have reproduced naturally, without artificial insemination.

Mother Yang Yang and father Long Hui had their first cub in the year 2007. His brother Fu Hu, Happy Tiger, was born after exactly three years on August 23, 2010.

Both cubs have arrived in China, which only provides pandas to foreign zoos and claims possession of any cubs born abroad.

As per Chinese tradition, Schoenbrunn Zoo has waited for 100 days before giving name to the new cub.

Zoo director Dagmar Schratter on Thursday said, "The leopard is considered a courageous and very strong animal in China, alongside the dragon and the tiger".

Fu Bao is about 60 centimeters in length and weighs six kilograms. The cub has been looked after by its mother till now.

The naming ceremony will be held on Sunday.
