Panda Updates – Friday, January 5

The cubs are becoming little eating machines. Just a few months ago, when we would refresh Lun Lun’s bamboo (which happens four to five times a day), the cubs would continue to snooze away on the structures. Nowadays when the cubs notice Lun Lun going inside, most of the time they run right in with her in order to get some leafeater biscuits. They will then run back out and try and eat as many biscuits as they can. Even after all the leafeater biscuits are gone, they use their little noses in search of more. Then, after deciding there are no more to be found, they continue to eat bamboo for several minutes until they fill up and settle in for a nap.
