Keepers at Hong Kong’s Ocean Park have been trying unsuccessfully for 10 years to get 14-year-old pandas Ying Ying and Le Le to mate naturally. A decade-long effort that had proven fruitless.
However, with the zoo closed to visitors since late January because of the Covid-19 outbreak, staff began noticing changes in the animals’ behavior.
“Since late March, Ying Ying began spending more time playing in the water, while Le Le has been leaving scent-markings around his habitat and searching the area for Ying Ying’s scent,” reads a statement from the zoo.
Following this foreplay, Ocean Park proudly announced that the two pandas had succeeded in natural mating on Monday morning.
