Today I went to the young cubs enclosure, where my
favorite keeper, Mr. Tang takes care of 4 two year old
male cubs and 2 three year old female cubs.
This is YuanZi eating apples, looking so desperate!!
However, he likes standing up even when we are not
feeding him, and although he looks slim, it's just
because his fur is short. According to one of the keepers,
his "black fur" was "grey" when he was a baby, , and now
it is "brown".
Two fighting for apples, one eating bamboo,
and one is slowly approaching to snatch the apple.
I carried outside all the left over bamboo,
and brought in fresh ones.
Pandas only eat fresh bamboo, and therefore
we bring fresh bamboos every 4 hours.
Sometimes when the weather is sunny and dry,
we do this every 3 hours.
Heavy and hard work!!
My favorite Keeper Mr. Tang helped me to
stick bamboo into the hole.
We do this to make it look like bamboos
are growing from the ground, to show it natural.
This is XiangBing and ShuRong.
They are close to each other as usual, just like twins!
(But Shu Ron has a REALLY round face, and is easy to identify )
And these are the new borns. Adorable!!
2 months ago, they were sleeping most of the time
without moving, but now they are moving around restlessly.
They're so cute, trying to walk around,
landing on other babies and using other babies as pillows.
They make a noise quite a lot, and are so active!!
Some can even sit down!!

Can't wait!!!!!
