Twin panda cubs Fu Feng and Fu Ban went on their first walk outside of their indoor enclosure at Vienna's Schoenbrunn Zoo on Tuesday and made their first appearance to the adoring public. The young pandas are almost seven months old, but despite their impressive climbing skills, the twin cubs were not allowed out into the open until now. A large number of journalists and visitors greeted the animals on their outing, making sure that their first adventure outside would be memorable. Their mother Yang Yang watched on closely as her cubs attempted to climb to the highest points of the outdoor enclosure. After the three-hour walkabout, the zoo keepers picked Fu Feng and Fu Ban up and brought them back inside their compound. The baby pandas will get some much needed rest before exploring their compound once more.
