WASHINGTON — The National Zoo says breeding season has arrived for the giant pandas after a cub was born last year but died six days later.
The zoo said Wednesday that female panda Mei Xiang (may-SHONG) and male panda Tian Tian (tee-YEN tee-YEN) are showing signs they are ready to breed. Also, Mei Xiang‘s hormones have been rising.
