Paulo Pong Kin-Yee Updates on Hong Kong’s Thriving Panda Twins
Paulo Pong Kin-Yee Shares Latest on Hong Kong's Panda Cubs
At just three weeks old, the panda twins at Ocean Park are capturing hearts and thriving under their mother Ying Ying's care. The recent footage showcases the cubs, affectionately referred to as Elder Sister and Little Brother, as they bond and grow stronger, particularly during adverse weather conditions.
The Naming Process: Involving the Community
Chairman Paulo Pong Kin-Yee has announced plans to involve the community in naming these adorable cubs, following the tradition established when parents Ying Ying and Le Le were named through public voting.
Panda Naming Traditions
- Each panda is tracked with a unique ID for research.
- The giant panda naming follows customs that suggest waiting until the cubs are 100 days old.
- Pandas in other regions, such as Wakayama Adventure World in Japan and zoos in South Korea, have their naming conventions shaped by cultural significance.
While these panda naming traditions may vary, one thing is clear: the interest in these charming creatures remains strong in Hong Kong and beyond.
