Moment giant panda gives birth to twins in Tokyo zoo
A zoo in Japan has announced the birth of twin giant panda cubs.
It's the second time that their mother, Shin Shin, and father, Ri, have bred at Tokyo's Ueno Zoo.
Giant pandas are notoriously difficult to breed both in the wild and in captivity. Only a few thousand of them remain, with conservationists classifying them as vulnerable.
