A koala named Tao Tao gave birth to a pair of cubs in Guangzhou Xiangjiang
Safari Park over the weekend.
Local experts said the chance of a female koala delivering twins is less than
one in 1,000.
The park established a special task force that consists of experts and animal
doctors to help look after the two infant koalas, who are expected to be able to
see tourists in eight months.
The park currently has six koalas from Australia. They include three males
and three females that arrived in Guangzhou in late April. Guangzhou is the
first city to have koalas in China.
