New giant panda pair Xing Qiu and Yi Lan revealed as Adelaide Zoo farewells Wang Wang and Fu Ni

ABC  

The Adelaide Zoo has revealed the names and pictures of its two new pandas, set to arrive later this year. "Since Premier Li's visit earlier this year, we've been working really closely with our counterparts in China," Conservation Programs manager Dr Phil Ainsley said. The announcement was made today at the Adelaide Zoo's last annual 'Teddy Bears' Picnic' where both pandas celebrated birthdays, with Fu Ni turning 18 on August 23 and Wang Wang turning 19 on August 31. "He's now got bubbles all over him, it was actually really cool, really good, really great experience," zoo visitor Blake Horn said. "It's a little bit sad to say goodbye to Wang Wang and Fu Ni but then exciting because that means we can keep coming back to see new pandas here in Adelaide so we will be back."
