Amanda (the panda) - (c) Yellow Dexter 2013
Edinburgh Zoo have their panties in a twist over the possibility of panda, Tian Tian being pregnant. Pandas - along with other mammals including red deer and badgers - employ a technique called delayed implantation.
This means that the period between the moment of insemination and the moment of birth can be anything between 85 and 185 days.
Not so for the panda wannabe cow I snapped (above) the gestation period is about that of 9 months or 285 days. This cute momma will have a baby weighing from around 70 to 100 lbs, whilst a new born panda weighs only 150 grams.

Amanda (above) can't see what the fuss is about.
