SAN DIEGO - Bai Yun, the adult female panda at the San Diego Zoo, is pregnant - again. Ultrasound tests have shown that Bai Yun is carrying one, maybe two, fetuses, zoo officials said yesterday.
The 17-year-old panda has given birth to four cubs since coming to the zoo as part of a scientific exchange with China. Based on previous pregnancies, keepers expect the birth to occur next month. Bai Yun is off exhibit at the zoo as she begins the “denning’’ process.
