Todays update from Zoo Atlanta: Wednesday, June 11 For my last update I wrote about how we need to work with the cubs on some training behaviors. Since then, both cubs have learned to put their paws down before receiving food or before shifing through a door. Pandas are smart and quick learners, so I am not surprised at how quickly the cubs have learned a new behavior. Any behavior that they do and we reinforce with food or attention will be repeated. As keepers, we have to be mindful of what the pandas are doing when we offer food or attention to them so that we do not accidentally reinforce behaviors that are undesirable. Heather R.
