Japan’s Panda Pregnant Again

Japan’s giant panda, Huan Huan, is pregnant for a second time and will give birth around the beginning of June, the Ueno Zoo said today. The 13-year-old panda was artificially inseminated Jan. 31 after she failed to mate with the zoo’s other giant panda, Fei Fei.

Huan Huan gave birth to Japan’s first panda last June after a previous artificial insemination, but the cub died 43 hours later when she was crushed by her mother, who weighs 220 pounds.
