WELCOME PANDA TWINS
WELCOME PANDA TWINS: Hong Kong’s youngest celebrities, twin six-month-old panda cubs, made their first public appearance before adoring fans Sunday.
The cubs, born 15 August, are Hong Kong’s first locally born giant panda cubs. They live at the Ocean Park theme park along with their parents and two other giant pandas that arrived from mainland China last year.
Crowds flocked to the park Sunday to glimpse the pandas inside their enclosure. Their caretakers were at hand as the pandas climbed up a tree trunk or slept on a swing.
A large selection of panda-themed souvenirs was available.
The cubs don’t have names yet – they are being referred to as “Elder Sister” and “Little Brother.” A public competition to name them was launched Saturday following an event attended by Hong Kong leader John Lee and other officials.
