Everland, operated by Samsung C&T Resort Division, announced on the 7th that the country's first twin pandas born in July this year have recently started living together with their mother, and released related photos to the media.


The photos released by Everland show the twin panda sisters, Ruibao and Huibao, who have reached 4 months old (120 days) as of the 4th, now spending time together in the arms of their mother, Aibao.


Living Together of Three Panda Mothers... Everland "Twin Pandas Begin Natural Rearing" View original image

From right after the twin pandas were born on July 7th until recently, since the babies were premature and their mother Aibao could not take care of both alone, the mother and the keepers each took charge of one panda, alternating care to raise the twin pandas. As the twins grew, the rotation cycle gradually lengthened, and most recently, the artificial rearing schedule was switched every 10 days.


Everland plans to proceed with a plan to publicly exhibit the pandas after they grow enough to follow their mother and engage in stable activities, expected early next year, going through an adaptation process to the external environment.



Keeper Kang Cheol-won explained the reason for changing the rearing method, saying, "Approaching 4 months old, their hind legs have developed and they have started to walk, and they have grown healthy enough to control their own excretion, so now both Ruibao and Huibao have been entrusted to their mother to begin natural rearing." He added, "We will closely monitor their health daily by measuring their weight and continue supplementary feeding with formula milk for a while, ensuring that neither of the twins lacks nutrition, and carefully take care of both."
