The giant panda cubs have reached a huge milestone – their 100th day.
To mark this momentous occasion, the Toronto Zoo released an adorable video highlighting the life of the twins.

According to the zoo, the 100-day celebration follows an ancient Chinese tradition that when a child reaches his or her 100th day of life, he or she has survived the risky fragility of infancy and may be considered on track for a successful future.
As you can see, the robust and fuzzy little pandas are doing well and becoming more mobile every day.
The twins were born to mom Er Shun on Oct. 13 and weighed only 187 grams and 115 grams.
Although they are still not viewable to the public, the zoo said they are hoping to introduce the twins to the world in mid-March.
There’s still no word on what sex the twins are or when they will be named.
“We have not named them yet but stay tuned,” Tracey said. “We hope to do something that will engage panda lovers around the world.”
