　　　　On July 7, 2008, the staff was feeding the eldest brother of the giant panda, who was born with twins on July 6, artificially in the incubator. The little guy stood with white fluff, which was very cute.

　　　　CCTV.com News: On the morning of July 7, 2008, at the Bifengxia Base in Ya ‘an, China Research Center for the Protection of Giant Pandas, the staff was in the incubator, successfully feeding the giant panda’s eldest brother who just gave birth to twins on July 6; At present, the twin’s penis is breast-fed by the giant panda.

　　　　According to Huang Zhi, the director of the base’s dynamic management department, he is 12 years old. On June 24th, he and five other pandas moved from Wolong Research Center, which was seriously damaged in the earthquake, to Bifengxia base in Ya ‘an. At 7: 52 am on July 6, Nao Nao gave birth to her first cub. At 8: 36, the second cub was born smoothly. At present, it has been confirmed that the eldest twin is male and weighs 170 grams. The second child has been held in his arms since he was born, and it is still impossible to weigh it and identify its sex. The staff is going to change the baby and feed it after 3 days.

　　　　Minister Huang Zhi said that on the afternoon of July 6, the breeder began to try to artificially feed the eldest twin, but it never contained a nipple. But at night, probably because he was hungry, he began to open his mouth and learn to suck milk. By the morning of July 7, the boss’s artificial feeding and eating had been very smooth. Because of good food, it not only cries loudly, but also crawls with great strength.

　　　　At the Giant Panda Breeding Farm in Bifengxia Base, Ya ‘an, the reporter saw the giant panda, who was carefully taking care of the twins’ second child in the cage in the delivery room, and from time to time tilted his head and looked at his children carefully.

　　　　Most of the time, it protects the child under its body and bends over to sleep. Li Caiwu, the breeder, said that he was very tired after giving birth, and he needed a rest to recover his strength. At present, the staff monitors them 24 hours a day to ensure the safety of mother and child.
It is understood that this is the first pair of giant pandas born after the May 12th earthquake, and it is also the first panda born in the world this year. Hope and Weiwei, two giant pandas in Wolong, Sichuan, who were fostered in Wuhan Zoo, were transported to Wuhan from here.
