A captive giant panda gave birth to a pigeon pair of cubs in a zoo in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, the zoo said Thursday. The giant panda, named "Haoqi," gave birth to a female cub and a male cub on Sept. 13 at the Chongqing Zoo after she had succeeded in natural mating with a male panda in the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in late April, the zoo said. 

Giant panda Yuan Yuan, one of a panda pair from the Chinese mainland, gave birth to her second cub at Taipei Zoo at 1:53 p.m. Sunday, the city zoo said.

Three panda cubs including a pair of twins met the public for the first time since they were born in July and August this year at Qinling Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding of Shaanxi Academy of Forestry in Xi'an on Monday. Their names were also officially announced as Qin kuer, Jia Jia and Yuan Yuan. 

A total of seven giant panda cubs born in the base in 2019 met the public.
