Giant Panda Twins Born in August First Revealed to the Public

The twin brother and sister of giant pandas, who were born in Hong Kong's Ocean Park on August 15, are drawing attention for the first time.

The Associated Press said the twin pandas are the first local ones born in Hong Kong.

The cubs' mothers and fathers are Ying Ying and Le Le, who gave them to Hong Kong from China back in 2007.

Ying Ying, a 19-year-old mother panda, was also listed as the oldest mother panda in the world.

For a long time, there have only been two giant pandas in this ocean park.

However, now the number has increased to six, and not only the park staff but also all over Hong Kong are happy.

Ying-ying and Le-Lu, the twin siblings they gave birth to, and Ahn and Kirk, who China presented to Hong Kong last month ahead of the 75th anniversary of National Day, are all living together.

The male panda An and female Kirk will also meet with the public around December after adjusting to the new environment.
