Singapore Wildlife Conservation Group announced on social media on the 15th that the giant pandas Kai Kai and Jia Jia living in the Singapore River Ecological Park have upgraded to become parents and mothers. At 7:50 a.m. on the 14th, the baby panda was born. Jia Jia, a first-time mother, took great care of her baby.
Singapore Wildlife Conservation Group uploaded three videos on social media on the 14th, in which the animal care team pointed out the location of the fetus's head, heart and hands and feet. The animal care team told netizens that small animals change color after birth, and its mother likes to chew apples and carrots.
In September this year, Kai Kai and Jia Jia will celebrate their 14th and 13th birthdays. The two pandas arrived in Singapore in 2012 and mated for the first time in 2015, and Jia Jia then showed signs of pregnancy, but ultimately did not succeed. In the past 7 years, Kai Kai and Jia Jia have not been able to produce good news whether they have undergone natural mating or artificial insemination, and the mood of the Singaporean people has also experienced expectations and disappointments. The mating season for giant pandas is generally from March to May, and mating is performed only once a year. The reproductive process of giant pandas is very complicated, and the fertility period of female pandas is only 24 to 36 hours.
It is reported that the baby pandas born during Kai Kai and Jia Jia's residence in Singapore belong to China, and the baby will return to China when they are two years old. (Reporter Deng Xuemei)
