Panda birth in China's quake zone

Life has been rough for Guo Guo. The giant panda used to live in the China Giant Panda Research Center in Sichuan Province, but after a massive earth quake pummeled that part of the country and left the center vulnerable to ecological disasters, she was evacuated. Now, nearly two months later and in her new home, Guo Guo is the first of the quake-struck pandas to give birth.

This is significant, as the giant panda is not only endangered, but "highly threatened" -- with less than 300 living in captivity, and fewer than 3,000 (according to the most optimistic estimates) living in the wild.

Guo Guo was pregnant with these two cubs when she evacuated, so doctors have been watching her around the clock ever since she arrived at her new facilities. But fortunately all signs seem to indicate that the new arrivals are perfectly healthy. Score one for nature.
