Zoo Officials Expectant Over Panda Mating
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
San Diego Zoo officials said Saturday that they were optimistic another baby giant panda will be on its way after Gao Gao and Bai Yun retired to their favorite spot under a few bushes and mated over two days.
It was the second mating for the giant pandas, both 13, at the zoo.
Bai Yun gave birth in 2003 to Mei Sheng. Bai Yun will probably give birth again in about 4 1/2 months.
