They are born as a result of artificial insemination. Attempts to reproduce the lost population began in the 50s of the last century.
The giant panda twins were born in a Chinese breeding center. In the past, this species was endangered, writes the Daily Mail.
The first attempts to breed pandas in China were made in 1955, but it wasn’t until September 9, 1963 that Ming Ming, the first captive-bred giant panda, was born at the Beijing Zoo. The wild panda population has gradually increased, reaching an estimated 1,800 individuals.
Today, according to scientists, less than 250 individuals remain endangered in the wild.
It will be remembered that in 2020, the oldest giant panda in the world, Xin Xing, died at the age of 38 in the zoo in the Chinese city of Chongqing.
