Rescued Panda Gives Birth to Twins
A panda who was relocated after China's deadly earthquake damaged her home gave birth to twin cubs, a state news agency said on Monday, July 7, 2008. The 7.9-magnitude quake struck Sichuan Province on May 12, killing nearly 70,000 people and leaving 5 million homeless, Xinhua news agency reported. One cub weighed 6 ounces, Xinhua said. Guo Guo was cuddling the other cub, so staffers at the Bifengxia Giant Panda Research Center were unable to weigh it.
