According to a South Korean zoo, the nation's first gigantic panda twins were just born there. The zoo revealed in a video on its YouTube account that the identical twin girls were born on Friday at the Everland theme park outside of Seoul. Donghee Chung, the director of the zoo, said: "This feels like a great opportunity to call for better protection and preservation of pandas, which have become a symbol for endangered species." 180 gm (6.35 oz) was the weight of the first twin, and 140 gm was the weight of the second twin, which arrived over two hours later.' Between 40% to 50% of panda births result in twins, Chung said. As part of what is referred to as "panda diplomacy," China has been sending its black and white ambassadors abroad as a gesture of goodwill since the 1950s. The twins were born close to three years after Fu Bao, the first panda to be born in South Korea, who shared the same parents, Ai Bao and Le Bao, entered the world. "There are two of them this time compared to when Fu Bao was born, and I think (the parents must be twice as happy)," zoo keeper Cherwon Kang said. Kang remarked that the mother Ai Bao's labour had gone more smoothly than it had with her first pregnancy and that he had been affected by the way she had handled the delivery and the outpouring of maternal affection.
