The pandas were born las weekend at Adventure World in Wakayama, 453km (283 miles) south-west of Tokyo. The mother and the babies were said to be in good health, despite one weighing only 84 grams ? considered to be premature, zoo officials said. Mei Mei, 12, and her breeding partner Eimei, 14, are both on loan from China.
