(21 Apr 2016) PANDAS MAKE FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCE IN SOUTH KOREAN ZOO, BAE SUZY ATTENDS OPENING
A pair of giant pandas were seen by the South Korean public for the first time on Thursday (21 APRIL 2016) after arriving from China in March.
Visitors including pop star Bae Suzy watched Ai Bao and Le Bao eating, sleeping and climbing trees inside their enclosure at a South Korean theme park, Samsung Everland.
The pandas, which were loaned from China following Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit in 2014, went through a month-long adjustment period before being shown to the public.
China has handed pandas to foreign countries as diplomatic gifts and a symbol of friendship, which is often called “panda diplomacy.”
Ai Bao is a two-year-old female panda who is described as docile and charming, while her partner Le Bao is a three-year-old male panda with a lively and outgoing disposition.
Pandas are endangered animals and there are only about 2,000 in the world.
