About Project Grizzly
Projec  and male Yang Yang (born September 9, 1997). Lun Lun and Yang Yang were born at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in China and arrived at Zoo Atlanta in 1999.
Twins Mei Lun and Mei Huan, both female, were born July 15, 2013, and currently reside at Zoo Atlanta. Lun Lun's and Yang Yang's first three offspring, male Mei Lan (born September 6, 2006), male Xi Lan (born August 30, 2008) and female Po (born November 3, 2010) all now reside at the Chengdu Research Base.
How common are twins? Have there ever been triplets?
Giant pandas give birth to twins about 50% of the time. In the wild, a giant panda mother giving birth to twins will typically choose to care for only one offspring.
Triplets are very rare. There is currently only one surviving set of triplets in the world, at Guangzhou's Chimelong Safari Park in China.
How often can pandas give birth? How many births over a lifetime?
Reproduction with giant pandas is very challenging. Females do not reach breeding maturity until 5 to 7 years of age. Their breeding season is limited to four months out of the year, during which females are only fertile for about 48 hours. Since wild giant panda cubs may stay with their mothers for up to three years, adult females are only able to produce a cub every other year, for an average lifetime maximum of five to eight cubs.
What does a pregnant panda go through?
There is little, if any, weight gain. Since cubs are born so small (3 to 5 ounces), there isn't much of a "baby bump" to keep an eye on.
What do newborn panda cubs look like?
Newborn giant panda cubs are pinkish in color, nearly hairless, blind, and have been described as being "the size of a stick of butter." They are completely dependent on their mothers for warmth and care.
Does the father take part in the cub's upbringing?
Giant pandas are a solitary species and do not live in the family groups seen in social mammals. Males and females generally associate only during breeding season, and the father plays zero role in the rearing of cubs and are not likely to ever even meet their offspring. Yang Yang has never met any of his offspring.
