Special delivery - Panda mama in France expecting twins any day

Chinese panda Huan Huan, who is on loan to France, is expecting twin cubs, according to the zoo, which carried out a medical examination and revealed the results exclusively to China Daily on Tuesday.

A team of Chinese and French panda experts awaits the birth of France's first baby pandas, which is expected later this week.

France's first lady is likely to be a "godmother" to the new arrivals.
