ジャイアントパンダの近況［119］
　└─2024/12/26

We would like to announce the following about the two Giant Panda Xiao Xiao and Lei Lei, who were born at Ueno Zoo on June 23, 2021.

Xiao Xiao's latest news

Xiaoxiao's health is good.

We primarily feed them bamboo such as Moso bamboo, Shino bamboo, and Madake bamboo, and supplement their diet with panda dumplings, carrots, and apples as needed. There are no particular abnormalities in their foraging or behavior, and they are in good condition.

Xiao Xiao has been undergoing Eurasian Moorhen training (*) since July 16, 2023. Through repeated training, it will become possible to safely manage the health of pandas by touching them with minimal stress. Training was temporarily suspended when Ri Ri and Shin Shin went into quarantine, but resumed on October 25 after their return. On December 2, she became able to have her blood pressure measured, just like Lei Lei. She is currently undergoing training for X-ray imaging.

The green mark on its back is almost completely gone.
