Video: Baby panda takes first steps in Belgian zoo

A male baby panda born in Belgium's Pairi Daiza zoo earlier this year is learning to take his first steps.

The giant panda cub - for now only known as 'Baby P' - was born in June, three months after Chinese experts artificially inseminated its mother Hao Hao.

Panda births in captivity are extremely rare, with Austria and Spain being the only other two European countries where pandas have been born.

It is believed that less than 2000 pandas remain in the wild.

On Wednesday the zoo launched an online poll in which the Belgian public is asked to vote for a name for the baby panda.
