The Atlanta Twins

Things seem to be going swimmingly with this pair of cubs, now 10 days old.

I love the fact that their eyes and ears are starting to turn black! And they have amazingly long tails...

I wonder when they are going to be named? I presume the zoo is waiting until they are certain that they will survive before giving the, names. And who chooses the names? Bearing in mind that they are the property of China, does the Chinese government name them? Or will officials in Atlanta pick Chinese names for them?

We saw these babies on tv and learned that they are alternating giving them to the mama one at a time because she will not care for 2 at a time. Odd eh? I think they looked like mice at first. So tiny. I am keeping my fingers crossed they both survive and do well.
