On May 8, the female giant panda twins - Ouhin and Touhin - who were born last year were presented to the public at their outdoor playground in Shirahama's Adventure World in Wakayama Prefecture.
The two pandas were raised on a combination of milk from their mother, Rauhin, and formula. As of the 8th, Ouhin weighed 9200 grams and Touhin weighed 9155 grams. Just five months after their conception, they've grown nearly 50 times larger than they were at birth.
To get them active and moving they were put into the outdoor area for some sunbathing. From today, they will be out and about as long as the temperature stays under 23 degrees Celsius.
On the day of their debut, the two pandas' presence had many park visitors remarking on their cuteness. In the fine weather, the twins played together, riding a swing and climbing trees. I
In regard to their personalities, one zookeeper said, "The older sister is relaxed and likes to do things at her own pace, while the younder sister is very active, kind of a tomboy." It was explained that one can tell them apart by looking at their ears -- Ouhin is the one with bigger ears.
A little bit outdated in terms of news, but still interesting nonetheless. I personally haven't been to Adventure World, but I hope to make it there to see the panda babies before it gets too warm!
