Edinburgh expecting ...
Print Edition
A giant panda at a Scottish zoo appears to be pregnant after months of dashed hopes and anticipation.
Edinburgh Zoo said yesterday that the latest data suggests that Tian Tian — Chinese for Sweetie — has conceived following artificial insemination in April and may give birth at the end of the month.
Experts are monitoring Tian Tian’s hormone and protein levels on a daily basis.
However, Iain Valentine, of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, said: “This is all very new and complex science and we still have a bit of time to go yet. As like last year, the late loss of a cub remains entirely possible.”
Tian Tian and Yang Guang, both aged 10, arrived from China in 2011. They are the only pandas in Britain.
