After a decade of attempts, Ying Ying and Le Le finally did the deed.
As a zoo in Hong Kong closed to the public amid the coronavirus pandemic, two giant pandas who hadn't mated after a decade of attempts finally did the deed Monday morning.
Ocean Park said its 14-year-old giant pandas, female Ying Ying and male Le Le, had been showing signs for a couple of weeks that they were entering the breeding season. About 9 a.m. Monday, the two pandas marked"the first success since the two giant pandas began attempts at natural mating a decade ago," Ocean ParkZoo officials hope the mating will bring a pregnancy later in the year for Ying Ying.
"We hope to bear wonderful pregnancy news to Hong Kongers this year and make further contributions to the conservation of this vulnerable species." Giant pandas held in captivity around the world take part in breeding programs to boost their population. For years, the species was considered"endangered" and only recently was recategorized as"vulnerable" by thePandas reach sexual maturity at ages 5 to 7, Ocean Park says. Ying Ying and Le Le arrived in Hong Kong in 2007 but failed to mate naturally since attempts began in 2010.
