WHY is her enclosure so small - she can hardly fit in there! That's terrible!

Amazing!

YuanMengPanda ONEDETOU🎉

Sad to see the animal giving birth in a tiny little cell

Not much space in this prison.

semperflebilis Wow, look how small that enclosure is. I’m sure she has larger spaces to live in, but she can barely turn around in there. I hope that she and the baby are happy and healthy.

Wonderful 🤗

So wonderful that a panda cub has been born. So NOT wonderful that the cage is so narrow! Happy news foiled again. Give these beautiful animals space to live comfortably at least!

Such a good girl/mama

I fucking hate zoos............

Thanks to the zoo for treating her like a sardine.

Let her out! This is neanderthal type behavior. The cell she is in is almost as wide as she is. This is all we can do for these majestic creatures?!! Nasty they have to suffer for our amusement?!!!!!!!!!! Sad for me. Good luck to the baby?

SHE IS LICKING HER FUR SO THE TINY BABY PANDA CAN MAKE ITS WAY TO HER POUCH.

Why is the cage so narrow, she barely had space😥😥

Aww, such great news and they look like teddies yay!

誕生おめでとうございます!和歌山アドベンチャーワールドも誕生日迎えたんですよ、同じ月生まれだね!アメリカのパンダ好きさん、良かったらみにきてね!どっちも!

Can she have some damn privacy my god

I swear to God, 2020, if ANYTHING happens to that cub...

Is anyone else sad she is on a cement floor in a cage she can barely move in. Shame.

Poor gal...no privacy at all!❤👏🎉🎊🎆
