Mother Koala Murrumbidgee (淘淘) takes care of her Koala twins, who are six and a half months old, at Chimelong Xiangjiang Safari Park in Guangzhou, south China's Guangdong Province, May 13, 2007. http://english.sina.com/p/1/2007/0514/111983.html
The world's only koala twins have passed a critical development stage and now have a good chance of surviving, a zoo official said today. The koalas, born in October at Xiangjiang wildlife park in Guangzhou, are one of only two pairs of captive-born twins ever recorded. The other pair was born at an Australian university laboratory in 1960.

The gender of the baby koalas, temporarily called "Michelle" and "Amanda", was still unclear, but would be known after testing when they are a bit older, the official said.
"There will also be a naming campaign for them in the summer, as they need Chinese names," he said.
