Zhen Zhen “Precious” was born Aug. 3rd, 2007 at the San Diego Zoo. She is the daughter of Bai Yun and Gao Gao. Zhen Zhen was transferred to the Bifengxia base in late 2010. She made headline news earlier this year for breaking stamina records for panda bear lovemaking, which lasted a full 8 minutes. Sadly, the very next day the record was shattered by another female lasting 17 minutes. However, her breeding resulted in two beautiful female cubs – so despite not being a record holding sexcapade, at least it was effective! Zhen Zhen is currently housed at Bifengxia in an area called the New Leopard Mountain, away from public viewing because she is a new mom.

The requests from fellow panda lovers for updates on Zhen Zhen has been fairly steady. We hope you enjoy the video and the pictures below of Zhennie and her two cubs.  The cubs are both female and were born on August 9th, 2015  at 22:50 & 23:21 which put Zhen Zhen at 8 years old for the births of these cubs.

Cub #1:

Sorry for the slightly blurry photos, it was a cloudy day and the enclosure is even darker so the corner made getting a non-blurry photo a little difficult.
