Ten years old Qinghe giving birth to a healthy male cub on August 4_2011.wmv

After an approximate 100 day gestation period, her water broke at 18:30 on August 4th and at 19:52 she delivered a male cub. The newborn male weighs 165.8g.

Qinghe was born in 2001. She was the first panda cub to be born after the announcement on July 13th, 2001 that Beijing had won the bid to host the 2008 Olympics. In honor of the big event, the Panda Base named her Qinghe.

This cub is Qinghe's first, which makes her the oldest panda among first litter pandas at the Panda Base. It is theorized that this is why her pregnancy and the delivery of her cub were difficult. Her prenatal signs were oddly similar to that of a human. When it was time for her water to break it only broke only after continuous effort was made to break it. Her labor was also difficult.

In spite of the difficult birth, both Qinghe and her cub are in good health.
