The zoo says they are not allowing media or the publicin to see the cubs yet because they are still in a critical period of their lives.

The twin cubs were the first-ever giant pandas born in Canada.

The pandas are on loan from a zoo in China as part of a breeding program. They will remain in Toronto until 2018.
