"Shan Shan" of the Ueno Zoo giant panda will celebrate the next month, a year and a half, when the wild panda begins to stand alone. For this reason, at the zoo, we began preparations for independence by gradually reducing the time spent with my mother, Shinsin from 13th.

Shan Shan spent in the outdoor space away from the mother only on the 13th in the morning and was walking around the entrance and exit at the beginning, but after about 30 minutes I moved to my favorite place on the tower , I was playing with the leaves of bamboo and walking about as I was used to.

According to the zoo, Shan Shan has been growing steadily, including a permanent teeth growing and already eating bamboo frizz, with a weight gain of about 37 kilos on the 5 th checkup this month, I showed them and entertained many visitors.

A girl of a junior high school first grader who visited her mother from Ibaraki prefecture thought "I am lonely away from my mother, but I am relieved to see a healthy appearance such as eating Sasano leaves I was speaking. "

to prospect the next month that Shanshan is 1 and a half years old at the zoo, is that we are preparing to be able to completely become independent.
