Giant Panda Surprises Zookeepers With Twin Cubs, While Scans Only Showed One Cub

Last Friday, August 12th, the zookeepers of Schönbrunn Zoo in Vienna, Austria were left in awe when they found out a giant panda, who was expected to give birth to one little cub, had given birth to 2 … and they’re twins!

Panda Yang gave birth to the twins last Sunday, August 7th. The reason the zookeepers believed she gave birth to one cub was due to what the scans showed– one cub rather than two ( obviously, baby pandas are incredibly small, about the size of an typical person’s hand).

But when the caretakers listened to squeaks of not one, but two child pandas, they obtained suspicious. And those suspicions were verified last Friday when Yang was caught on camera cradling two baby cubs. Awwwww.

On August 7th, panda Yang gave birth to a baby cub


At least that’s what the zookeepers believed until they saw this video clip …


Obviously, Yang gave birth to twins, while the scans revealed just one cub

The three of them just look too cute
