Macau’s first locally born panda cubs are putting on weight, which was recorded on Saturday at 167.2 grammes for the first born and at 77.9 grammes for his younger sibling, the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM) said in a statement yesterday.
The cubs are “in good health”, the statement said, adding that both look like two “moving glutinous rice balls with grated coconut”.
The first “made in Macau” panda cubs, both of which are male, were welcomed to the world in Coloane on June 26, with the elder cub weighing 135 grammes and the younger cub 53.8 grammes at birth.
