A healthy panda cub has been born at a zoo in northern Thailand, surprising carers who said the eight-year-old mother had shown no signs of pregnancy.
Lin Hui gave birth just three months after being artificially inseminated with sperm from partner Chuang Chuang.
The giant pandas, on loan from China since 2003, had shown no interest in mating at their home in Chiang Mai.
Pornography and diets failed, but artificial insemination has finally succeeded for the couple.
Giant pandas, notorious for their low sex drive, are among the world’s most endangered animals.
