Hong Kong's Twin Giant Panda Cubs Debut with Mother Ying Ying

The twin giant panda cubs, born on August 15, 2024, made their first public appearance alongside their mother Ying Ying at Ocean Park Hong Kong on March 21, 2025. These cubs, known as 'Little Brother' and 'Elder Sister,' have drawn significant public interest, prompting a citywide naming contest. Visitors can observe the family in a dedicated area, with tickets selling out quickly since the cubs' debut. Ying Ying, noted as the world's oldest first-time panda mother in captivity, showcased maternal behaviors, reinforcing the importance of maternal care for panda cubs during their first years. Ocean Park has also launched a dedicated social media page to share updates on the twins, enhancing their popularity locally and internationally. This event marks a significant milestone in Hong Kong's panda conservation efforts, as these are the first locally born pandas.
