Chinese mainland Pandas Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan have been in the Taipei Zoo for several days, and are said to be "getting on well in their new environment." A spokesman for the zoo has confirmed that they're in good physical and psychological condition.

Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan are still in quarantine. But children  in Taiwan couldn't wait to take a look at their outdoor  enclosure during the weekend.

Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan are still in quarantine. But children in Taiwan couldn't wait to take a look at their outdoor enclosure during the weekend.

A Taipei resident said, "Yeoh, we are looking forward to their appearance. Just have a walk today"

The zoo provided a video showing Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan enjoying their new life. They are also enjoying one other's company very well.

However, they are a little picky about food right now. Tuan Tuan lost 3.6 kilograms and Yuan Yuan lost 3.8 kilograms. The zoo says Taiwan's home-grown bamboo seems suit the panda's flavor.
