She was scheduled to birth around the end of August 2014.〔http://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/news/2014/08/giant-panda-update/〕 On September 22, 2014, Edinburgh Zoo announced that she was "no longer" pregnant. On 26 March 2015 it was announced that another artificial insemination took place. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tian Tian (female giant panda)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
