Meilun and Meihuan are twins. They were born at Zoo Atlanta in Atlanta, Georgia, in America three years ago. They came back to Sichuan in China 1 November.
The two twins don't seem to get used to the life now. They are2 some culture shock (文化冲击) in their new home. They've never seen3 keepers before.
The transition (过渡期) has been4 for the pandas. They don't seem to care for new food and don't understand our language. Keepers and other workers are5 about the situation. Luo Yunhong, a keeper at the panda research center, told the People's Daily that the twins6 American biscuits so much that they have to put some American biscuits in the food they eat. Luo said he has been7 replacing (替代) the American biscuits with Chinese bread. They think it is a long time to help them8 their old eating habit.
The People's Daily also reported that Meilun and Meihuan can't understand Sichuan dialect (方言),9 they can understand some simple English phrases such as "come here". The keepers are trying to10 them more Chinese in daily life.
Hope the twin pandas can get used to living in China soon.
