As per recent reports, a baby panda has been born to Yang Yang and her mate Long Hui. The announcement made by the Vienna zoo has said that the third panda baby of the parents have been born through natural conception.

It is a special moment not only for the proud parents, but as well as for the zoo people. It has been said so as no other zoo in Europe has been able to come up with news through this measure.

All the other zoos have been taking the help of other measures like artificial insemination. Main aim of all the zoos is to save the endangered species as female pandas have a very short span of fertility.

If to go as per experts then female panda is fertile for two to three days in a year. This is the reason that it gets very difficult to have successful conception during that time period.

Dagmar Schratter, Zoo's director was of the view that it is great news that they have another baby panda. But they have to be very cautious about its health. Chances of its mortality are quite high in its first year of getting born.

"Even as we rejoice, we must remain realistic. The mortality rate for giant pandas in the first year is at 40 percent", said Schratter.
