They are so funny aren't they. It is amazing that they have raised both babies and the mother is bonded with both of them.

What sweet little ones! Toronto Zoo must be doing something right, as I've heard it is very difficult to breed Pandas in captivity. Bless them and may they continue to thrive!

Giant pandas are hard to breed and it is not common to raise both twins. The second one was much smaller and it took a lot of work to pull the little guy through. He was kept in an incubator and fed most of the time. Then they would switch him with the bigger twin and let mom have time with him. Mom was fine with that and some of the time both twins were in the incubator. It let her sleep while the twins were still being cared for.
We have some really talented people at the Toronto Zoo. They have done a lot to raise endangered animals for release to the wild. I should see if I can find articles and do posts about that.

The pandas are so fun to watch. Yes, there has been a lot of snow on the East Coast of the USA. I'm glad it didn't hit us. The sweet little panda looks so cute frolicking in the snow. lol
