Month-old miracle panda triplets said to be thriving

Giant panda triplets born a month ago at a zoo are healthy and putting on weight, a manager said on Thursday.

The cubs were pink when they first appeared but have started to grow black and white fur, said Dong Guixin, general manager of the Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park in Guangdong province.

The triplets' weight increased from 90.5 grams, 83 grams and 124.4 grams when they were born on July 29 to 1,014.5 grams, 1,013.2 grams and 1,227.6 grams today.
