The first locally born giant panda cubs in Hong Kong made their public debut at Ocean Park on Sunday, just a day after turning six months old.
The twin cubs, currently referred to as “Elder Sister” and “Little Brother,” were born on August 15 last year to Ying Ying and Le Le, the giant pandas gifted to Hong Kong by the central government in 2007. Members of the public are invited to submit name suggestions for the cubs, with the official names set to be announced in the first half of this year.
With the cubs and their parents, as well as An An and Ke Ke, two pandas that arrived last year, Hong Kong now has the largest number of captive pandas outside the Chinese mainland.
