A zoo in central France has announced that two of its giant pandas mated “multiple times” over the weekend.

Huan Huan, a female, and Yuan Zi, a male, were put in contact eight times, at regular intervals.

Giant pandas have a very short window for breeding. Females are only able to become pregnant for 24 to 72 hours each year.

ZooParc de Beauval hailed its pandas’ performance over the weekend. “Huan Huan was at the top of her hormonal spike and Yuan Zi… was obviously on top form!” reads the release, “The two (bears) obviously had some rest periods during these vital hours… but they obviously weren’t very tired.”

While there is no guarantee that Huan Huan will in fact become pregnant, the zoo said the mating session was “rather good,” noting “many high pitched noises” from Huan Huan and “more hoarse growling” from Yuan Zi.

Both pandas are 12 years old and have been in the French zoo since 2012.
