00:00Hong Kong's cherished panda cubs, affectionately called Elder Sister and Little Brother, reunited

00:09with their mother, Ying Ying, inside an exhibit enclosure during a media preview on Friday,

00:15one day before they make their public debut together.

00:18During the touching reunion, the playful cubs interacted with their mother, while Ying Ying

00:23displayed her nurturing affection.

00:26According to Hong Kong Ocean Park, after days of observation and training, the panda family

00:31has successfully adapted to their new environment and can now roam the exhibit area together.

00:36It's a step-by-step approach, and we also believe in the professionalism of our animal

00:40caretakers.

00:41After observation and experience, we believe now is a good time to display Ying Ying together

00:47with the cubs, so the cubs also can learn new skills together from the mom, and the

00:51public will enjoy seeing them together as well.

00:56The birth of the twin cubs on August 15, 2024, marked a historic milestone as Ying Ying became

01:17the oldest recorded giant panda to give birth, delivering the twins just a day before her

01:2319th birthday.

01:24The panda family will officially meet the public for the first time on Saturday.
