Panda at Toronto Zoo is expecting!

[Catherine]

Not only is the Panda expecting, she is having twins!

There are so few pandas in the world and so few places that have pandas so that makes this a very special event.

The Pandas are just on loan from China. They do look after their pandas very carefully. It is part of the conservation program that they loan pandas to places that can look after them.
This is the little mother.

She does look very comfortable


This is dad at least they think he is.


I will let you know as soon as I hear anything.

Great news, fingers crossed they arrive safe and well.

Even if only one survives it will be so cute. They have already moved the mother into the maternity area. Everything is all set up. I presume they have people with her 24 hours a day. I think this is our most exciting birth watch.
We have had some good ones. We hatched Komodo Dragons years ago. One year we had three Orangutan births. That was fun.
We have had polar bears, gorillas and now the white lion cubs.

I will post as soon as there is any news.
