Taipei, July 29 (CNA) Two red pandas from Shanghai Zoo made their public debut Wednesday at the Taipei Zoo after completing a month-long quarantine, the Taipei City government said.
The pair, a male named Le Le (樂樂) and a female named Tien Tien (甜甜), were gifted to Taipei Zoo under a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed during the 2024 Shanghai-Taipei City Forum.
Chiang said the Taipei Zoo sent staff to Shanghai on three occasions after the MOU was signed to learn about the red pandas' diet, management and daily care.
Calling both animals "very cute," Chiang invited the public to visit Taipei Zoo during the summer vacation to meet the new arrivals.
Under the MOU, Taipei Zoo is expected to send white-handed gibbons to the Shanghai Zoo in return.
