Twin pandas challenge to breed for the first time

"Xiao Xiao" and "Ray Ray" are the first twin pandas to be born at Ueno Zoo.



The zoo has been trying to raise twins for the first time by consulting with the Chinese side on SNS while it is not possible to invite experts from China due to the influence of the new coronavirus.

At the age of four months, three of them, including their mother, "Xin Xin," began to live in the same panda house, and the twins hung on the belly of the lying "Xin Xin," showing a lovely appearance. I did.



According to Ueno Zoo, wild giant pandas do not form a herd, so at a certain age, they may be moved to different panda houses, but the two in the second half of life are still 3 parents and children for a while. It seems that we can spend time together with our heads.
