Panda twins take US zoo by surprise

Panda twins take US zoo by surprise

An artificially inseminated giant panda took United States zoo officials by surprise on Saturday when she gave birth to twins — nearly five hours apart.

Mei Xiang, a star draw in Washington’s National Zoo, gave birth to her first cub at 5:34pm, an hour after her water broke, zoo officials said.

"All of us are thrilled that Mei Xiang has given birth," said zoo director Dennis Kelly in a statement before the second cub had arrived. "The cub is vulnerable at this tiny size but we know Mei is an excellent mother".
