Bai Yun Gives Birth (August 2, 2005)

Bai Yun's new cub can be seen inside the yellow square.

After several months of waiting to see if the San Diego Zoo’s female giant panda was pregnant, 13-year-old Bai Yun gave birth to a single cub Tuesday evening, August 2, following a 3-hour labor.

The Zoo’s animal care staff observed Bai Yun give birth at 9:57 p.m. (Pacific Time) via a close circuit camera installed in the Giant Panda Research Station birthing den. The gender of the newborn will not be known for a while.

The San Diego Zoo now has the largest population of giant pandas outside of mainland China, while this birth marks the third giant panda cub to be born at the San Diego Zoo. Currently the Zoo has four giant pandas, including Bai Yun and her newborn cub, the male panda Gao Gao, and Mei Sheng, a male cub that will be 2 years old August 19.

The birth of this cub is the second giant panda birth in the United States this year; the first birth was at the National Zoo in July.
