The zoo confirmed a few weeks back that Tian Tian the female panda is pregnant, but panda pregnancies are difficult to achieve in the first place and it is even more difficult to predict when the panda cub might be born.
All we can tell you is that there is a likelihood that the cub might be born soon. Will it be today? We have no idea! STV tell us that the birth is predicted by an expert to be today, but the Zoo is keeping Mum.
You can watch the male panda Yang Guang on the Pandacam but if you visit the zoo the pandas are currently off view meantime.
In the meantime amid rising hopes of a cub here is Iain Valentine of Edinburgh Zoo explaining the work and science behind it all.
