The China News Service reported that three pandas were born on July 29 in the south of Guangzhou. Scientists postponed the announcement of this good news until they were absolutely sure that all three children survived.

According to the press, the mother is named Ju Xiao and her 3 children are now healthy. Ju Xiao was the scientist for artificial insemination with a male panda living sperm at a Guangzhou zoo. Mother bears are carefully cared for 24 hours under the strict supervision of breeders in the last weeks of pregnancy. Three healthy pandas were born within 4 hours, weighing between 230 and 333 grams.

Also known, this is the fourth born in the world. The previous cases did not announce how many children survived the birth.

China spends a lot of resources to boost the number of pandas - a species that is regarded as the country's unofficial mascot. They also regularly update the situation of panda births at Ngọa Long zoo and breeding center in Sichuan. There are about 1,600 pandas in the wild and they are seriously threatened by the narrowing of the habitat. Only about 300 animals live in good farming conditions, mainly in China.
