@jamiesont Apparently a few people spotted she wasn’t drinking at the summer party. Nursed the same spritzer all night.

Although it is still early days, the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS), can reveal that we are not ruling out that female panda Tian Tian may be pregnant.
A second hormone rise in progesterone levels was detected in Tian Tian on 15th July, and then confirmed on Wednesday 7th August, which indicates she may be pregnant or experiencing a pseudo pregnancy; this means that in around 40 to 55 days Tian Tian will either give birth to a cub or her false pregnancy will end. If there is a cub, it could be born between late August and early September.
Twin panda cubs for Fota?
Any excuse.
