Given that their mother is the oldest giant panda to give birth on record, the birth is a “true rarity”.
On Thursday, the day before her nineteenth birthday, Ying Ying gave birth to the cubs. She would be the equivalent of 57 years old if she were human.
More than a thousand congrats have been left on a Facebook photo of the twins, a male and a female.
The cubs’ caregivers state that they are “very fragile and need time to stabilise” while in round-the-clock critical care.The prospect of meeting the huge panda cubs excites us all. Please be patient and wait a few months to it.
According to the park operator, of Ying Ying’s twins, the female cub seems more delicate than her brother since her body temperature is lower and her cries are not as loud.
She is really light—122 g.
According to Ocean Park, Ying Ying was “understandably nervous” during her delivery and spent most of her time lying down and contorting on the ground.
It is well known that giant pandas are hesitant to mate. Since Beijing gave them to Hong Kong in 2007, Ying Ying and the twins’ father, Le Le, have resided at Ocean Park. In March, they had a successful mating.
The long-term conservation efforts of China have stopped the giant panda population decline. They are no longer endangered; instead, they are now regarded as a vulnerable species.
