Rare and precious panda giving birth in a zoo in Taiwan

This rare baby bear was born on Saturday after artificial insemination in March.

Taiwanese authorities said that after four years of unsuccessful pregnancy efforts, the rare panda in Taipei Zoo gave birth to the baby panda. The mother panda, Yuan Yuan, 9 years old and the panda father, was a gift given by China to Taiwan four years ago.

China sent pairs of pandas to Taiwan in December 2008. Two pandas were named Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan. This rare baby bear was born on Saturday after artificial insemination in March.

This baby panda will stay in Taiwan. Normally, panda couples only lend to other countries, not to give them, and the loan expires, all family members must return to the bear family.

The baby panda is placed in the incubator immediately after being born to ensure health. The fact that pandas are pregnant in nature is also very difficult, so the panda giving birth in the zoo using artificial insemination is a very good signal.
