At 4:58 local time on 5th August, a squawking panda infant was born to Bai Yun at San Diego Zoo.

For the previous 24 hours Bai Yun become more restless and taking shorter periods of rest with intermittent next building. At 2:45 she leaned back holding her feet. After a couple of hours and various positions, at 4:58 Bai Yun stood on all fours and had a series of contractions then a loud squawking was heard and Bai Yun turned to take care of her new born.

Congratulations to Bai Yun, and well done to all the staff at San Diego Zoo.
