TORONTO, Nov 27 (Reuters) - The Toronto Zoo's twin giant
panda cubs have been moved to a larger incubator and are doing
very well, the zoo said on Friday in an update of the six-week
old cubs, the first baby pandas born in Canada.
The zoo released a new video and photos of the cubs, who are
seen side by side in their incubator. Another photo shows one
cub snuggling with mother Er Shun.
They are not yet on display to the public as it is still a
"very critical time" for the cubs, the zoo said.
"The giant panda keepers and Chinese experts continue to
twin-swap the cubs with Er Shun and as they grow, and both cubs
are being supplemented with formula. The only time the cubs are
not with mom is when she is eating bamboo," the zoo said in a
statement.
The cubs were conceived through artificial insemination
using sperm from her Toronto Zoo partner Da Mao as well as the
frozen sperm from two giant pandas living in China.
Er Shun and Da Mao are on loan from China for 10 years as
part of a long-term breeding program. They will remain at the
Toronto zoo until 2018 and then relocate to the Calgary Zoo for
five years.
