Birth of panda twins brings double joy

China Daily  

Giant panda An An, who was sent to Hong Kong on Sept 26, is earlier seen playing at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Sichuan. If anyone is happy about giant panda Ying Ying successfully giving birth to twin cubs in August after years of futile mating attempts and a miscarriage, it's Janet Long Shun-kwan. Long began looking after Ying Ying in 2009, and was close by during the giant panda's decade-long efforts to give birth, which started in 2011. In 2015, Long accompanied Ying Ying to the Wolong Shenshuping Base of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in southwest Sichuan province, where the giant panda was to take part in a natural breeding program.
