We would like to inform you of the following regarding Giant Panda "Ri Ri" and "Shin Shin," and their two cubs "Xiao Xiao" and "Lei Lei," who were born on June 23, 2021.

Lili's current situation

Li Li'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.

Due to the continued high temperatures, we are mainly keeping them in air-conditioned indoor spaces, allowing them to get plenty of food and rest.

As of August 15, 2023, Leelee's weight was measured at 139.7 kg.

Updates on Xiaoxiao and Leilei

Both animals are in good health and feeding condition.

They are fed mainly bamboo such as moso bamboo, shinotake bamboo, and Madake bamboo, with side dishes such as panda dumplings, carrots, and apples given as needed.

Due to the continued high temperatures, we are mainly keeping them in air-conditioned indoor spaces, allowing them to get plenty of food and rest.

Xiao Xiao began Eurasian Moorhen training (*) on July 16, 2023, and Lei Lei began on July 21. Through repeated training, it will become possible to safely and with minimal stress on the pandas to perform health management procedures such as touching their bodies and drawing blood. Currently, training to get them to touch a target stick with the tip of their nose is progressing smoothly.

We've marked Xiao Xiao's back to allow us to review video footage of her nighttime activities and to clearly identify her in surveillance camera footage. She doesn't seem to mind the mark.

(*) Eurasian Moorhen training
Training animals to exhibit spontaneous behavior is aimed at ensuring their healthy living and safe working conditions for humans.

*As an enrichment, I gave ice to Xiaoxiao and Leilei.
*The colored ice is made by diluting or mixing apple juice, orange juice, or tomato juice.
*The items on top of the ice are panda-shaped dumplings, molded into the shape of Giant Panda 's face and a heart.
