Hong Kong’s panda cubs making first public appearance with mother Ying Ying

Twin panda cubs “Elder Sister” and “Younger Brother” greeted visitors in the company of their mother, Ying Ying, at Ocean Park’s giant panda adventure enclosure for the first time on Friday.

The twins were born on August 15 of last year, and are making their first public appearance together with their mother after more than seven months.

The babies were unveiled to park patrons on February 16, and have since attracted a lot of local and international visitors.

The park has said it plans to build a panda museum as part of efforts to help promote long-term interest in the city’s own family of bears.
