Yang Yang (panda)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Atlanta's Yang Yang in December 2006

Yang Yang is the name of two giant pandas on display outside of China.

One of the two is a male residing at Zoo Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia and the father of Mei Lan. He is kept separate from the cub and his mother Lun Lun because male pandas do not play a part in raising cubs in the wild.

The other panda is a female living at Schoenbrunn Zoo in Vienna, Austria. This female Yang Yang recently surprised her zookeepers when she gave birth on August 23, 2007. This was the first panda born in Europe in 25 years.^[1]
