Panda Updates – Friday, December 8

Ya Lun and Xi Lun have turned into little bamboo-eating machines! As mentioned in previous updates, it’s really fun to see the cubs grow and reach new milestones. They have been gnawing on and consuming some of the bamboo for quite a while now, but they are really starting to pick up the frequency at which they seek it out and eat it. As of now, they are not necessarily favoring one species over another; rather, they are seeking out the pieces that either have thin culms they can break or lots of leaves to munch on. If you’re wondering about the status of the cubs eating sweet potatoes, we will just say it’s a work in progress.
