La Ménagerie - Le Zoo du Jardin des Plantes - Paris : Orang-Outans, Pandas Roux, Léopard des neiges
The giant panda Tian Tian, on loan from China to the Washington Zoo, is busy in his pen the day after the birth of the baby panda he had with Mei Xiang. She was artificially inseminated on March 22 with Tian Tian's frozen semen. IMAGES
Mei Xiang, Washington DC National Zoo's female giant panda, gave birth to a cub and is caring for it, the zoo announces. "Mei Xiang picked the cub up immediately and began cradling and caring for it," the Zoo staff said in a statement. IMAGES
Washington's celebrity giant panda Bei Bei leaves the city's zoo to begin his journey to China, the land of his ancestors, which he has never walked on. The rules of 'panda diplomacy' dictate that once a panda reaches the age of four, he or she is repatriated to breed with other animals at sanctuaries in China. IMAGES
Au parc zoologique de Pairi Daiza, de nombreuses naissances sont enregistrées chaque année. Il y a trois ans, pour la première fois, un panda a vu le jour en Belgique. Le 8 août dernier, la famille s’est encore agrandie avec l’arrivée de jumeaux, un mâle et une femelle d’à peine 150 g. De bon augure pour le parc qui peut se targuer désormais d’avoir cinq spécimens rares.
