Toronto, ON, Friday, November 27, 2015: The giant panda cubs continue to do very well and have recently been moved to a larger incubator as they have outgrown their first one. The giant panda keepers and Chinese experts continue to twin-swap the cubs with Er Shun and as they grow, and both cubs are being supplemented with formula. The only time the cubs are not with mom is when she is eating bamboo. Since Er Shun is a lactating mother, staff have been very focused on increasing her bamboo intake which is very important to maintain her milk production.

It is still a very critical time for these cubs and they remain in the maternity area of the Giant Panda Exhibit, which is not visible to the public.

Media Information:
Please note, Er Shun and the giant panda cubs are not on exhibit and media are not permitted in the maternity area of the Giant Panda Exhibit. Toronto Zoo staff will provide updates, photos and video as they become available.
