Hao Hao and Xing Hue are two Giant Pandas, living in
Pairi Daiza Wildlife Park in Belgium. Both pandas are on loan from China. On 22nd
of June 2016, the 7-year-old Hao Hao gave birth to a 171-gram male cub.
The idea of pandas as gifts is known as 'panda
diplomacy' and it has a long tradition in China. Panda diplomacy describes how
the Chinese authorities let chosen governments keep pandas as a mark of respect
between their countries. In the 1980s China moved away from 'gifting pandas' to
countries, and instead started to loan them out.

Pandas despite their size always look so adorable and huggable!
You just want to hug them. Toronto zoo has a couple as well and they gave birth as well...very cute.
Thank you for publishing the card I send you!
