In China's Chengdu Research Center, a 19-year-old giant panda named Lily gave birth to a female cub last Sunday. It's rare for a panda to give birth at 19, since giant pandas normally only live around 25 years.

Lily was artificially inseminated. After 128 days of pregnancy, Lily went into labor last Friday. The baby panda was delivered two days later.

The panda cub is the 97th giant panda in the Chengdu Research Center, the world's most successful giant panda breeding facility.
