There's been much speculation over the health of panda Yuan Yuan. She was sent to Taiwan with her partner Tuan Tuan, from the Chinese Mainland, three years ago to Taipei Zoo and keepers there believe she is now pregnant.
The animal went through a course of artificial insemination three months ago. The zoo believe that recent changes in her habits indicate that she could be pregnant. She's been acting less, sleeping 3 hours longer, with her appetite radically dropping.
Since Yuan Yuan is not allowing vets to get close to her, the zoo cannot perform ultrasound to verify the claims. But the zoo says Yuan Yuan has the chance to have twine babies, and they're expected to be born in mid-June. Children in Taiwan are exited about Yuan Yuan's probable pregnancy, saying they're eager to see more baby pandas.
