Edinburgh Zoo panda enclosure shut over Tian Tian 'noise sensitivity' Bosses have closed the panda enclosure at Edinburgh Zoo as "pregnant" Tian Tian has developed a sensitivity to noise. The decision was taken on Sunday to ensure Tian Tian was not unnecessarily disturbed. The zoo said it would assess on a day-to-day basis whether to reopen the area to public viewing. A spokeswoman for Edinburgh Zoo said on Sunday: "Tian Tian is still showing all the right signs that indicate pregnancy and has recently become fairly sensitive to noise, so with this in mind we are closing the panda enclosure today so she can enjoy peace and quiet." Bao is a "genetically important" panda who died at Berlin Zoo in 2012. If Tian Tian is pregnant and a cub is born a blood test is expected to be carried out by conservation geneticists and confirmed by the laboratory at the Scottish zoo.
