Berlin Zoo's Panda Twins Thriving as They Approach Crawling Stage

Born on August 22, the panda cubs are healthy, active, and drawing significant visitor interest to the zoo.

Overview

  • The panda twins, each weighing around five kilograms, are developing well and are close to reaching the crawling stage, according to the Berlin Zoo.
  • Visitors can view one of the twins daily between 1:30 PM and 2:30 PM, with shorter lines now recommended around 2:00 PM.
  • The zoo has seen a 30% increase in visitor numbers between October 16 and November 16 compared to the same period last year.
  • During the autumn holidays, the zoo hosted 600 to 700 visitors per time slot, though attendance has since normalized.
  • Zoo officials attribute the rise in attendance partially to the pandas, while noting that favorable weather also played a role.
