A month after their arrival at the Moscow Zoo, giant pandas Ru Yi and Ding Ding finally made their debut to the Russian public on June 5, fulfilling their duty as a symbol of 'the friendship betweenChinaandRussia.'
The pair, a three-year-old male, and Ding Ding, a two-year-old female, arrived in Moscow on April 29, and will spend 15 years at the Moscow Zoo participating in collaborative research, according to an agreement signed between the Moscow Zoo and the China Wildlife Conservation Association in February.
