The panda twins Shaoshao and Reirei of Ueno Zoo stand side by side eating bamboo harmoniously.
6月に2歳になる2頭は先月19日に母親のシンシンから親離れし、これまでとは違う屋外の飼育場で過ごすようになりました。　
The two animals, who will turn two years old in June, were separated from their mother, Shinshin, on the 19th of last month and spent time in another outdoor care area.
上野動物園によりますと、2頭は新しい飼育場を仲良く一緒に探索し、プールに入ったり木に登ったりする様子が確認されたということです。　
According to Ueno Zoo, the two animals were exploring the new care home together and were seen going into the swimming pool and climbing trees.
また、親離れした後も体重が安定して増えていることから、今月5日からは人工乳を与えることをやめ、離乳しました。　
In addition, since their weight has been steadily increasing after separation from their mom, we stopped feeding artificial milk and weaned them from the 5th of this month.
今は、旬のタケノコをよく食べているということですが、固い部分は残してしまうことが多いそうです。
The zoo also says they now eat a lot of seasonal bamboo shoots but regularly discard the hard parts.
