Sharjah24 – Reuters: The cubs, named Yuandudu and Huanlili, took baby steps to discover the pen and their wooden playground, sometimes stumbling, guided by two zookeepers.

Born in August 2021, the baby pandas were introduced to the public in December and had Paris St-Germain soccer star Kylian Mbappe and Chinese Olympic diving champion Zhang Jiaqi as "godparents."

The cubs' parents, Huan Huan and her partner Yuan Zi, came to France on loan from China in 2012. Their arrival was hailed at the time as a sign of warming diplomatic ties between Paris and Beijing.
