Now, their giant panda, Ya Ya (on loan from the zoo in China) is pregnant through arificial insemination. The giant panda has been notorious for being a poor breeder, accounting for their endangered status. Ya Ya has just come through a stage of "dispause" in which the fetus does not grow. It is hard to tell if a panda is pregnant until right before giving birth. Gestation lasts 133 days. Ya Ya is expected to give birth within 30-45 days. The most recent panda birth was Mei Lan in Atlanta, one of three zoos in the U.S. to house a panda.
That I'd like to see.
