Cubs like these in the past were born here at the breeding center, where the birth could be closely supervised.

But that wasn't ideal.

Now, they're experimenting with a new approach.

Remote cameras and microphones are installed in the outside enclosures, so they can monitor the pregnant pandas from a distance, allowing for a more natural birthing process, simulating the wild.

Today, they've spotted an exciting development.

Feifei, one of their mature females, appears to be in labor.

Feifei is going to have a baby.

She's going to have the baby?

Yeah.

Soon?
