On Sunday, a pair of noisy, convulsive, bald and violently pink twins arrived in Madrid, which relieved their mother and all those who worked hard to ensure that the panda population continued to recover from the endangered road.
The Madrid Zoo Aquarium announced the birth of these unnamed cubs on Monday, saying that their arrival is “a great contribution to the protection of threatened and high-profile species, which is a sign of people who love and protect nature.”
The brothers and sisters are the fifth and sixth cubs born in the zoo of the female giant panda Huazui and her partner Xing Bing, who were borrowed from China.
The zoo said in a statement: “The first contraction began at 4 a.m., and the first happy arrival was at 8:30 a.m., when the mother began to speak and instinctively prepare for the moment of birth.” “After giving birth to the first cub, she quickly threw it on her lap so she could lick it, while the cub writhed around and made a loud noise.” Four hours later, its twins arrived. .
In an update on Tuesday, the zoo stated that it has weighed the cubs, weighing 0.171 kg and 0.137 kg, and their umbilical cords have been tied and disinfected.
The zoo said: “Their gender is temporarily unknown, because their sexual characteristics are still not obvious.” “In the next few days, experts at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding will be able to confirm this with more certainty.”
International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List Put giant pandas in the “vulnerable” categoryAlthough the population is increasing, with an estimated 1,864 animals (of which 500 to 1,000 are mature), the species is still threatened by agriculture, mining, development, pollution and extreme weather.
