Another Giant Panda Cub Born at Ouwehands Zoo!

At Ouwehands Zoo, after a long period of uncertainty following the mating of Wu Wen and Xing Ya in February, the moment had finally arrived. On Friday evening, July 12, 2024, giant panda Wu Wen gave birth to another cub! Mother and her cub are staying in the maternity den and are doing well. The gender will remain a surprise for now. The zookeepers will leave Wu Wen and her cub alone. The gender will only be known at the first health check by the vet. After 100 days, the panda will be given a name, according to Chinese tradition.

For the twins, special enrichment included ice “cakes” shaped as the numeral six and containing frozen produce; birthday bags filled with leafeater biscuits; and a birthday banner. Yang Yang enjoyed similar birthday surprises next door in an adjacent dayroom habitat in The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation Giant Panda Conservation Center.
