Singapore Wildlife Conservation Group revealed on October 8 that the baby panda, which was born two months ago, has grown six teeth and will soon be able to nibble on bamboo. Baby pandas generally begin to grow teeth three months after birth and try to eat bamboo when they are about seven months old.
The conservation group said animal care workers first noticed four teeth on September 23, 42 days after the baby panda was born, and two more after 10 days. The baby panda is currently at least 51.5 cm long and weighs more than three kilograms.
On August 14 this year, on the day of the Tanabata Festival, giant pandas Kai Kai and Jia Jia living in Singapore welcomed their first male babies through artificial insemination. The conservation group plans to bring the baby panda to the public 4 months after it is born.
Wildlife Conservation Singapore launched a name campaign with the public, after which the public will be allowed to vote on the shortlisted names. When the baby panda is born 100 days ago, the name with the most votes will be selected.
