Edinburgh Zoo panda 'no longer pregnant'
The UK’s only female giant panda is no longer pregnant, Edinburgh Zoo has announced.
The zoo said there is no evidence Tian Tian has had a miscarriage, and that “late reabsorption of the foetus” could have taken place.
It said that all data gathered since the animal conceived in April suggested she was pregnant and likely carry to full term, but “sadly this did not happen”.
The zoo said the panda is in great health, and is being monitored by experts.
