Birth of Giant panda’s cub reported
After we had been following up Linhui’s pregnancy we found that about midnight on 27th May 2009 Linhui started licking her vagina progressively for several hours and marking at the same time. Linhui was eaten a bamboo lass than before.
In the morning about 8.00 am the keepers were going to bring Linhui into the cave to check up her health but Linhui denied. She still pay attention to lick her vagina and started to push till her vagina was expansile. So we decided not release Linhui into exhibit area and told the keeper to keeping eye on Linhui all the time. So we had found that Linhui was still push intermittently and has more frequency from 20 minute to 10 minute and she still licks her vagina at the meantime.
Until about 10.39am Linhui had change her action to bend down and she started to push again until she was delivered the baby on the floor and Linhui tried to hold her baby in the mouth to cuddle. Linhui was being a great mother even this is her first pregnancy. We believe that Linhui can raise her baby by herself. The giant panda’s cub is big, cries out loud, and has a lot of energy to squirm. We think the giant panda’s cub is healthy and that is not necessary to separate from mother.
After 3 hours from delivered the giant panda’s cub was not hungry yet. Linhui had clean and make her baby sleep. The cub move progressively and cry out but when Linhui hold in a good position the cub was go back to sleep.
Preparation to raise the giant panda’s cub. First we must know that the cub could suckle milk from mother or not if the cub couldn’t suckle milk from mother we have to separate to feed and then bring its back to Linhui. But from our observed we expect that the cub had suckled some milk from Linhui already.
