New Panda Babies in Atlanta

/ by Pandas International

Lun Lun, a 15-year-old giant panda, gave birth to twin males on July 15, 2013. The first of the tiny duo arrived at 6:21 p.m., and his twin followed at 6:23 p.m. The cubs are the first giant pandas to be born in the U.S. in 2013 and the first twins to be born in the U.S. since 1987. The cubs are the fourth and fifth giant pandas born at Zoo Atlanta. All five of Lun Lun’s and Yang Yang’s cubs have been products of artificial insemination.
