One of Edinburgh Zoo's pandas has become ill

One of the pandas living at Edinburgh Zoo has become ill.

Yuang Guang is suffering from colic, which is giving him stomach pains.

The panda arrived at the zoo in December, along with female panda, Tian Tian. He has been removed from public display while he recovers from his illness.

Iain Valentine from Edinburgh Zoo said: “We’re mainly keeping him relaxed and indoors, although we expect he’ll go out sometimes to stretch his legs.”

Colic is quite a common condition. Both human babies and pandas often suffer from it. Yuang Guang is expected to make a full recovery.
