Most of the baby pandas born in Europe in the past have to resort to in vitro fertilization, however, Schoenbrunn zoo officials in Vienna say they want a self-fertilized baby panda. Of course. And now they have been like.

The baby panda 10 cm long, weighing only 100 g, was discovered early yesterday morning (August 23). When he was born, the zoo staff were unaware. His parents Yang Yang and Long Hui, both 7 years old, were borrowed from China by Schoenbrunn zoo in 2003.

At a news conference, Dagmar Schratter, the zoo's director, said earlier that her group had almost given up after an ultrasound scan on August 6 did not find Yang Yang pregnant.

Pandas are one of the world's precious animals. It is estimated that there are only 1,590 individuals living in the natural world.
