VIENNA, AUSTRIA (Reuters) — Fu Feng and Fu Ban, the famous panda twins born in Vienna’s Schoenbrunn Zoo, turned half a year old on Tuesday (February 7).
The 6-month-old panda cubs can now be seen rollicking around and climbing tree branches in their pen.
“The twins love to climb up high. Their sharp claws make for a good hold. If they do tumble down from time to time they land safely on a thick layer of hay,” said zoo director Dagmar Schratter in a statement.
While the pair are said to enjoy nibbling on tender bamboo leaves, Mother Yang Yang still suckles them once or twice a day.
Fu Feng and Fu Ban have stayed in the indoor enclosure but they will be allowed to accompany their mother into the outdoor area come spring time.
