Panda Twins!

[Catherine]

While I was sleeping the panda was busy giving birth.
There is even a video of the actual birth. It is hard to believe how small they are at birth and even harder to believe how loud they are. Wait until you hear them.

This is so exciting.
Of course I don't get to see them until next year, but they will post updates regularly and we will get to see videos.

Oh what sweet little dear things! That is good news, and I hope the little ones will be safe and thrive.

Er Shun knows how to give birth. That is exactly the right position for an easier birth.

[Catherine]

You are right, for a new mom she sure knew how to give birth in the best position.
She also seemed to know instinctively how to care for the babies.
So far they are doing well. I will post new video as soon as it is available.
I really hope they make it. They are so tiny at birth.

I don't know if I saw a different video but I didn't get to see or hear the pandas in that clip. It is very good news for sure, though!

[Catherine]

There were several videos in the article. You can hear the baby in one of the ones near the bottom of the page. I can't believe that they posted the video of her actually giving birth.

The last news alert I had said the babies are doing very well.
I will look for something I can post tomorrow. I can't post a news article from my phone. Or I haven't figured it out yet.

What good news. And didn't they just "POP" out shouting. So much noise from such tiny things!

Here is the latest video. Er Shun is a wonderful mother and both twins are growing. She is even caring for both. It is hard to get both twins to survive, but it could happen.

I will post new video as it is made public.
