Chinese goodwill ambassadors, two giant pandas - Wang Wang and Fu Ni - made their debut at the Adelaide Zoo in South Australia. The visitors were excited to see one of the world's most endangered species up close. The adorable four-year-old male Wang Wang and three-year-old female Fu Ni amuse everyone.

Visitors said, "And they're cheeky and lovable, aren't they?"

"And they look funny when they eat."

People hope the pair will reproduce during their stay.

Zhang Juncai, Chinese Ambassador to Australia, said, "Who can rule out the possibility that the lucky girl will fall into the net of love and later have a lovely baby, Kung Fu Panda!"

The two pandas were sent to the zoo on a 10-year-loan for research purposes, as agreed by the two governments when Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang visited Canberra in early November.

The couple are the first giant pandas to ever live in the southern hemisphere.
