A pair of giant panda twins born to Lun Lun at Zoo Atlanta.
A giant panda at the Atlanta zoo delivered an extra bundle of joy on Monday when she gave birth to twins, an apparent surprise to zoo officials who had been excitedly anticipating the birth of a single cub. Lun Lun delivered the tiny, hairless duo, the first giant panda cubs to be born in the US in 2013, Zoo Atlanta officials said. “We had no reason to expect twins, although we had not ruled them out,” said Dwight Lawson, deputy director of Zoo Atlanta, adding that pandas regularly give birth to twins. Twin cubs have never been born at Zoo Atlanta, zoo officials said. Lun Lun has given birth to three cubs there.
