A baby panda born in a Japanese zoo last month was judged as a male actually turned out to be a female, The cub, born on November 22, was erroneously judged as a male because its anus and urinary opening was longer than what is usually the case with female pandas.
But a month later, when panda handlers examined the cub, they found out about the mistake as the cub had no testicles. In case of the pandas, experts say there is an initial difficulty to gender them because the animals are born with undeveloped reproductive organs, a report in Daily Mail said.
The unnamed cub was deemed a boy because the distance between its anus and urinary opening was longer than usually found in girl pandas. But another exam revealed it s actually a female.
