The giant panda cub born at the Dutch Ouwehands Zoo on May 1 has been named Fan Xing, the zoo announced on Friday (August 14).

Over 22,000 votes were cast worldwide and Fan Xing was the winner.

Fan is the abbreviation for Fan Gao, which refers to Van Gogh in Chinese, and Xing comes from the cub's father Xing Ya.

Fan Xing is expected to make its public debut in October.

The giant panda is an endangered species that is only found in the wild in China.

An international breeding program was established to protect the species and the pandas in the Ouwehands Zoo are part of this program.
