As previously announced, in line with the growth of Giant Panda Xiang Xiang, we are gradually increasing the amount of time she spends living alone away from her mother, Shin Shin, to help her become independent.

Since Xiang Xiang's condition has stabilized and we have determined that her independence is progressing smoothly, we will move from the current Step 1 "Separation in the morning" to Step 2 "Separation while out in the open air" (*).

*Step 2:
Shin Shin and Xiang Xiang are kept separately outdoors in the morning and afternoon, and together at night and when they are indoors (during closing procedures and rainy weather, etc.).

Date: From Tuesday, November 20, 2018 for a while


Step 2. Separation while roaming outdoors.
*During this period, you will not be able to see Shin Shin in the mornings.
Also, even in the afternoon, you may not be able to see Shinshin if she is not in Room 2.
*The room layout and timing of moves may change depending on the animals' condition.
