Qinling giant panda family has four generations living under one roof

In the past two days, the news that the Qinling giant panda family has achieved four generations living under the same roof has been very popular on the Internet. Many netizens are also very concerned about this fact. For this reason, the editor has also searched for relevant information on the Internet. If there are interested netizens who want to know the specific situation, the editor will share some of the information he has collected with everyone.

At 12:56 on August 17, 2020, giant panda Yongyong at the Qinling Giant Panda Research Center successfully gave birth to a female cub weighing 152g.

Yongyong showed signs of estrus on April 2 this year. The staff in charge of giant panda breeding used a combination of reproductive hormone monitoring and trial breeding to ultimately determine the best time for breeding. After completing an artificial insemination using the fresh semen of the brown giant panda Qizai on April 11, the pair made several attempts and finally completed four natural intercourses with the giant panda Erlang.

Yongyong, a first-time mother, was rather clumsy in taking care of her child. She tried several times to hold the cub in her mouth before she found the trick, and she managed to do it without any danger. However, she has very good maternal instincts and is always very careful when holding her baby. With the help of the caregivers, Yongyong learned how to hold the cub, lick the cub and breastfeed within a few days. Her posture was much more coordinated than at the beginning and she looked a bit like a mother. Due to the decreased appetite in the nearly one month before giving birth, Yongyong was weak and tired after giving birth. She dozed off from time to time while holding the cub, and accidentally held the cub too tightly. The caregivers stayed by her side 24 hours a day to remind and take care of her and the cub.

Yongyong's mother is Lousheng, the center's first artificially bred giant panda. She is 17 years old this year and was named Lousheng because she was born in Louguantai. Lou Sheng has successfully bred 4 litters of 6 cubs and is a giant panda mother with good maternal instincts. Lou Sheng’s mother, Xuexue, is already in her 30s. Xuexue, Lousheng, Yongyong and the cub Yongyong present the scene of four generations of the Qinling giant panda family living under one roof. (over)
