Panda Watch: Exploring the Lives of Pandas at Ocean Park and Sichuan
Panda Twins Growing Up at Ocean Park
The Hong Kong panda twins are now over six weeks old, experiencing significant milestones in their growth. With their fur thickening and their colors becoming more pronounced, updates from Ocean Park continue to delight fans.
The twins have begun to show signs of their eyes separating, though they are not yet fully open. According to an update, after approximately six weeks, the twins will open their eyes completely.
Arrival of New Adult Pandas
This week also saw the arrival of An An and Ke Ke, adult pandas sent from Sichuan to commemorate the 27th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to Chinese sovereignty. They will remain in quarantine for at least 30 days before meeting the public.
Understanding Panda Behavior
Pandas are known to be solitary animals, and their ability to bond with caretakers while in captivity is complex. Although often perceived as gentle, there's potential for aggressive behavior, as demonstrated by a recent incident with a panda named Ding Ding.
Further incidents at the Chongqing Zoo featuring pandas Yu Ke and Yu Ai chasing a zookeeper highlight their playful yet unpredictable nature.
Despite their meek appearance, a public warning was issued by the Chengdu Research Base after a girl fell into an enclosure, reminding everyone of pandas' powerful presence.
