SINGAPORE – Children skipped school and adults took leave from work on Aug 14 to celebrate Singapore’s first locally born giant panda Le Le’s “two-rrific” birthday.Fans sporting panda paraphernalia like T-shirts, headbands and other accessories gathered on the walkway overlooking the panda exhibit at River Wonders.
As Le Le, accompanied by his mother, ate his way through his treats, there was a chorus of oohs and ahs. As giant pandas are extremely solitary animals, cubs in the wild naturally separate from their mother at age 18 to 24 months.During this transition, the interaction between mother and cub shifts, with the mother slowly rejecting her offspring and the cub beginning to eat, sleep and rest alone.
