The fuzzy creatures pictured above were born at Detroit Zoo two and a half months ago, on June 27.

Their caretakers say the cubs, born to mom Ta-Shi and father Shifu, are in perfectly good health.

Seeing how since 2008, when she arrived at Detroit Zoo, until present day, Ta-Shi has given birth to five litters, there is little doubt that she is an experienced mother.

Hence the fact that these rascals are thriving under her watch.

“Ta-Shi is an experienced and attentive mom and very protective of her babies. We’re thrilled to once again add to the captive population of this threatened species,” zoo employee Robert Lessnau reportedly told the press.

The twins are still young, which is why they spend most of their time hidden inside their nest box. However, it appears that it will not be long until they make their first public appearance.
