YONGIN, South Korea (Reuters) - China sent two giant pandas to South Korea.
Ai Bao is two years old. The zoo says she likes to eat and rest a lot, while three-year-old male Le Bao is "mischievous".
"I've seen pandas only in pictures and books, but seeing them in person... they are so cute," said elementary school pupil Seo Seung-Yeon, 8.
The pair are on a 15-year loan.
It's part of China's 'panda diplomacy'.
