:halcat: Tian Tian @ Washington National Zoo has troublesome weight loss! Had exam under anesthesia @ Vet hospital. He is okay for now and they have a baseline health exam as needed for the future if more worrisome S/S show up. Be sure to check out CBS news report @ end of article (with video) as they expand more ...

Thanks for reporting that here, SWINWK. I trust the zoo staff is doing all they can to keep him healthy. He is like family beyond the zoo. :loveheart:

:rudired: Todays update from zoo on Bei Bei:

Wednesday, Nov. 29

Bei Bei is bright and alert this morning and fully recovered from his veterinary exam yesterday, Nov. 28. Keepers monitored him overnight and offered him small amounts of bamboo, apples, biscuits and honey water every few hours. He is back to his normal routine and spending time outside. He settled in for a morning nap in his preferred tree. For the next few days, keepers will offer him smaller meals to help his stomach recover from the mucous stools and veterinary exam. The panda house reopened this morning.

Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute Update 3/1

A team of our reproductive scientists, veterinarians and panda keepers performed an artificial insemination on giant panda Mei Xiang today, March. 1. Scientists and keepers had been closely monitoring Mei Xiang’s behavior and hormones since she began displaying behavioral changes Feb. 17, indicating she was almost ready to breed. Daily hormone reports showed Mei Xiang’s estrogen levels peaked Feb. 28, which means she was ovulating and able to become pregnant. Female giant pandas are only in estrus or able to become pregnant, for 24 to 72 hours each year. Paws-crossed! #PandaStory #WeSaveSpecies Friends of the National Zoo

:flirty: The twins in Atlanta have completed the weaning/separation from Mom and will remain together!!

Jen W
March 7, 2018
The weaning process for Ya Lun and Xi Lun is now complete, and the girls are now living independently from Lun Lun. As you know from following our updates, this process started more than two weeks ago, with a gradual increase of time Lun Lun and the twins spent apart during the day and/or overnight. At first it was about six hours apart, and over the more than two-week period, increased to 20 hours apart before the cubs were housed fully independently. This is the same process all of Ya Lun’s and Xi Lun’s older siblings have experienced, and like their older siblings did, these twins did exceptionally well (as did Mom!).

For the time being we are housing them in such a way that they cannot see or hear each other. This will minimize any stress and also represents what would be observed in the wild. Over time, we will have opportunities to have Lun Lun and the twins be within visual/hearing reach of each other. In the meantime, the twins have not seemed fazed at all that their mom is not present, and we’re enjoying the opportunity to build our relationships with them and provide them with extra enrichment. You may notice that Lun Lun is vocalizing a bit more and walking around a bit more. This is because she is still producing some milk, and since she is no longer nursing, it will take her body a couple of weeks to completely stop producing milk and to reabsorb what milk she currently has. The first week is always a bit of adjustment for everyone, including the care team, as we now have three groups of giant pandas to work with, but this is where all of our training comes in handy. Thank you all for following along on this latest milestone for Ya Lun and Xi Lun!

For fun, here’s a photo of Ya Lun and Xi Lun almost exactly a year ago today (a year ago yesterday, to be exact). They grow up so fast!
