Pandas may be in short supply in Sichuan, China, where they come from. Earthquakes may be chasing them about and such.
But, elsewhere, Pandas are making a comeback … well, sorta.
The first panda born in the US this year was born in the Atlanta Zoo.
The little sex-to-be-determined critter’s sister, Mei Lan, is a couple weeks shy of her second birthday.
Zookeepers are still hoping there’s a twin inside yet to come out. “Jacob? Are you in there?!”
The sex of the newborn will be determined in a couple of weeks, sometime after mom lets them touch the cub. Until then, STAY CLEAR OF THE MAMA PANDA!
Well, this mama panda seems to be a bit frisky. I wonder if they have been taking videos to pass around the panda world to get others in the mood? What is it with Pandas anyway? I bet the fellas are game.
How do you say in Panda language, “Not tonight, I have a headache?”
Just for the records, that follows last week’s Panda artificial insemination at the Oji Zoo, in Japan

Twelve-year-old giant panda, Guo Guo, who was relocated after May’s devastating earthquake in the Sichuan province of China gave birth to twin cubs on Sunday. She became the first panda to bear cubs since the disaster and the first to give birth around the globe this year.


The elder of the two small pandas weighs only 170grams.
Guo Guo was one of the six pandas evacuated from the Giant Panda Research Center in Hetaoping to breeding bases. After traveling more than 100km during gestation, the evacuation process turned out to be exhausting and Guo Guo got medical attention as soon as she arrived in the new shelter. Congratulations to the new mother which has also managed to give birth each year for the last three years.
