Panda Updates – Monday, April 13

Today, we wanted to tell you some of the ways to tell Ya Lun and Xi Lun apart when you’re watching PandaCam. The easiest way to tell them apart is by their eye patches. Xi Lun’s patches have a cat eye shape that swoop to the sides, and Ya Lun’s patches have more of a rounded, oval shape. Also, when you happen to tune into PandaCam as the twins are walking into their habitat from behind the scenes, Ya Lun, without a doubt, goes directly for the leafeater biscuits while Xi Lun heads for a nice pile of bamboo. And last, if you see them playing, Ya Lun is the more confident of the two, and she’s usually the one jumping off of structures onto her sister below. Thanks for tuning into PandaCam and supporting the Zoo!
