Local panda carer Chio Chong Kuan said yesterday that Macau’s first locally born panda babies –Tai Pou and Sio Pou – were in good health, growing well and putting on weight.
Chio said that Tai Pou, the elder cub, weighed over 1,000 grammes yesterday, an increase of 14 times over his birth weight, while Sio Pou, his younger brother, weighed 753 grammes yesterday, an increase of 7.5 times his birth weight.
Chio made the announcement on the sidelines of a celebration at the Macau Giant Panda Pavilion in Coloane, marking the birth of the male twins a month ago.
