Animal-lovers hoping to catch a glimpse of Auckland Zoo's brand new baby pandas should plan for a viewing date in March.
The Nepalese red panda twin cubs, born on January 3, now weigh around 400 grams each - a healthy size for their age.
The pair, who are yet to be named, are the second and third offspring of 4-year-old mum Bo and 13-year-old dad Sagar.

Auckland Zoo's acting carnivore team leader Lauren Booth said the births were fantastic news, particularly as numbers of Nepalese red pandas continued to dwindle in the wild.
