They are born.
Huan Huan, the female panda loaned by China to the Beauval ZooParc (Loir-et-Cher), gave birth to two twins on the night from Sunday to Monday.
The two small plantigrades come to enrich Beauval's panda family, already strong with their father Yuan Zi and their big brother Yuan Meng, born August 4, 2017.
If this is good news for visitors, with whom the zoo's pandas are already popular, the news is all the more encouraging for China, which uses pandas to promote its image and maintain good diplomatic relations. Since the 1940s, the superpower has used its huge furballs to improve its image abroad. Explanations with Antoine Bondaz, researcher at the Foundation for Strategic Research.
