SINGAPORE: Singapore's resident pandas, Jia Jia and Kai Kai underwent their first routine medical examination today, said Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WSR).

The medical tests included a full dental and body check, blood sample withdrawal, an X-ray and ultrasound scan, and a Tuberculin test.

Each examination took approximately one hour and checks show that both pandas are well.

WSR said the examination is usually carried out after the new animals have settled in their quarantine dens.

On Sep 8, it was reported that the pair are adjusting well in their homes. Easy-going Kai Kai apparently did not take long to settle in his 15 sq m air-conditioned den, while Jia Jia took about five hours to get used the new environment.

The pandas will stay in their dens for one month in quarantine to prevent any diseases from spreading to other animals in the zoo.

After they are given the all-clear, they will be released into their 1,225 sq m exhibit at the River Safar in Mandai, which is situated between the zoo and the Night Safari.
