[JP Press, July 2007] Rare giant panda cubs were born
in captivity, including a pair of twins at China’s Wolong Panda Reserve and one at Washington, D.C.’s National Zoo. The National Zoo’s newborn panda cub is in good health, while its mother, Mei Xiang, is gaining confidence and is utterly absorbed in caring for her baby. Relieved zoo officials said they were pleased that the cub has done so well during its first critical hours. Panda infants are born blind, vulnerable to infection and so tiny in relation to their mother’s size that they can easily be crushed. The infant weighed a quarter-pound at birth compared with Mei Xiang’s 250 pounds. Veterinarians might not be able to get near the cub for weeks because panda mothers are quite protective.
