A 15-year-old giant panda named Lun Lun gave birth to the cubs on
Monday evening at Zoo Atlanta. The cubs are the first giant panda twins
to be born in the US since 1987. It is not uncommon for giant pandas to
give birth to twins, but it is quite rare for both twins to survive as
the mother usually cares for one of the two. The cubs appear healthy and
are doing well.
