Auspicious victory (3)

The panda pair was flown some 3,000 km from Chengdu to Singapore in early September, and they are now nicely settled in their new abode. They will meet their adoring public for the first time on Nov 29, and China Daily was given an exclusive preview to find out how the pandas are coping.

Both Kai Kai and Jia Jia seemed to be very comfortable, munching lazily amid carefully landscaped greenery and occasionally scaling a tree or a boulder.

They barely notice the heat from the late morning sun because they are living in an insulated glass and metal paneled dome, subtly patterned with bamboo leaf motifs. The climate-controlled bio-dome aims to simulate the lush subtropical monsoon terrain of Sichuan province by moderating temperature and humidity levels, with plenty of plants and sunlight ensuring the exchange of fresh air.
