Overview

• The seven-month-old panda twins, Leni and Lotti, ventured into their outdoor enclosure for the first time on March 20, 2025, attempting to climb a specially designed structure.
• Zoo staff implemented temporary safety measures, including additional boards and a layer of mulch, to protect the young pandas during their climbing attempts.
• In their natural habitat, panda cubs begin climbing at around four to six months of age, with frequent falls cushioned by their dense fur and rounded bodies.
• The outdoor climbing structure was funded through public donations, reflecting widespread support for panda conservation efforts.
• Daily outdoor sessions between 13:30 and 14:30 are planned for the twins, weather permitting, as part of their developmental progress.
