Everybody knows that Giant Pandas are endangered and that they are -- to say the least -- not very prolific when it comes to reproduction. So it is a very good news indeed to learn that four cubs were born in the Chengdu Panda Breeding Research Centre, southwest Sichuan province, in China.

On August 21, 1999,
Hua
Mei, the
first baby panda to be born in the
western hemisphere since 1990, was born at the
San Diego Zoo.
The parents are on loan to the San Diego Zoo from the Chinese
government. The public was able to watch Hua Mei's development over the
internet on the Zoo's
Pandacam.

They weigh only approximately 90 to 130 gram and are covered with pouring rem white skin.
With approximately one month young animals have the typical skin design,
with 40 to 60 days open them the eyes and with five to six months take them
for the first time solid food to itself.
