Pandas Mate at Schönbrunn Zoo, Vienna
The Giant Pandas at Schönbrunn Zoo in Vienna, Yang Yang and Long Hui, mated several times on March 23. In no other European zoo do these endangered bears reproduce naturally. “The mating season for pandas is only once a year and that for a very short time" said Dagmar Schratter the zoo director, "The females are only fertile for two or three days.”
Three panda babies have already been born at Schönbrunn Zoo which has been taking part in the panda protection programme since 2003 when the panda pair, Yang Yang and Long Hui arrived in Vienna.
