RonJonSurfer Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 You've heard of Three Dog Night? 4 pandas born in China on same day BEIJING - Four pandas were born in captivity in China on the same day, a rare occurrence after 34 were born in all of last year, state media reported Tuesday. Xinhua News Agency earlier reported that three pandas had been born, but later said that Eryatou, who had delivered a female baby on Monday evening at the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Center in Sichuan province, later gave birth to a second female baby. Earlier on Monday, Jiaozi gave birth to a male and a female at the same center. Chinese panda breeding centers now have reported 14 cubs born so far this year, with nine at the Chengdu center and the others at the Wolong Giant Panda Nature Reserve, Xinhua said. The panda is one of the rarest animals, with an estimated 1,590 living in the wild. Another 210 have been bred in captivity, Xinhua said. Of the 34 pandas born by artificial insemination in 2006, 30 survived. Both were record figures, Xinhua said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 There was a panda born in San Diego years ago, it was a huge event. The DJ on the radio, who got to go and pet the baby, said pandas aren't as cuddly as they look... their fur is really coarse, and they're sort of mean.
