Compared with his calmer older twin brother Long Bang, Qiu Bang was remembered at Adventure World as noticeably more lively and mischievous; his large ears were another distinctive feature. In 2003, the brothers became the first giant panda twins in captivity to be naturally nursed and successfully raised together by their mother. After returning to China, Qiu Bang continued to take part in breeding, and Adventure World records credit him with four offspring.
