Pandas at National Zoo Breeding After Eight-Year Wait
In Washington the giant pandas Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing mated for two minutes marking their first breeding in eight years. Zoo spokesman Mike Morgan called it a successful breakthrough and canceled artificial insemination plans. Ling Ling began the heat on St Patrick’s Day with the pair connecting in the morning and again later. The event comes as inflation data showed only a 0.1 percent rise in personal income last month while consumer spending barely grew, prompting economists to call the gains lackluster. The money supply's March surge pushed three month Treasury yields higher, fueling rate rise fears and signaling a cooler economy ahead.
