      Captive-born arctic wolf twin grow well in Zhengzhou park

      A pair of captive-born arctic wolf cubs has gained weight and made their public debut last Wednesday, 45 days after their birth in a polar wildlife park in Zhengzhou, the provincial capital of Henan in central China.

      The opposite-sex twins are the province's first captive-born arctic wolf pair.

      "The newly born arctic wolves are covered with black fur and as they grow, the black color fades little by little. Eventually as they enter adulthood, their fur would become white or grayish-white," said Hao Jixiang, one of the wildlife park's animal keepers.

      The two cubs are going through their weaning period, when they are fed with meat puree. Once they are completely weaned, they can eat beef, chicken and other meat for protein.

      China's railway is expected to handle 13.2 million passengers nationwide on Thursday, the 10th of this year's 40-day Spring Festival travel rush, as the railway passenger traffic has been running at a high level for several days.

      The railway transported 13.32 million passengers on Wednesday, the ninth day of the travel rush.

      By 20:00 Wednesday, the country's railway ticketing platform 12306 had sold a total of 271 million tickets for the Spring Festival travel period which runs from Jan 14 to Feb 22.

      To ensure smooth travel during the Spring Festival, local railway departments are adding trains to meet the surging demand.

      China Railway Xi'an Bureau Group in northwest China's Shaanxi Province, is expected to handle 455,000 passengers on Thursday, with the local railway authorities planning to add 98 extra trains, including 12 overnight high-speed trains to the metropolises of Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou.

      China Railway Nanning Bureau Group in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is set to run 690 passenger trains on Thursday, including an additional of 101 bullet trains.

      Qingdao railway station in east China's Shandong Province will operate passenger trains to Urumqi, capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, for the first time.

      The Spring Festival travel rush, known as Chunyun, is the largest annual human migration in the world as tens of millions of Chinese people return to their hometowns to celebrate the Lunar New Year with their families.

      The Spring Festival falls on Jan 29 this year, ushering in the Year of the Snake.
