Meet Yu Ke and Yu Ai – the inseparable twin panda cubs melting hearts at Chongqing Zoo! Born in July 2022 to mom Er Shun, these fluffy siblings are gearing up for their second birthday with endless playtime and bamboo munching sessions.
Under round-the-clock care from expert breeders, the duo has become a symbol of resilience and brotherly love. Zoo staff say they still stick together like ‘panda glue’ – napping, climbing, and occasionally tumbling like living stuffed toys.
Fun fact: Their bond reminds conservationists of famous animal siblings in pop culture (think Simba and Nala, but with more black-and-white fluff!). As their birthday approaches, the zoo plans special ice cakes made of fruits and bamboo – because even pandas deserve a viral-worthy celebration!
Pro tip for travelers: Add Chongqing Zoo to your China bucket list for 2024!
