Have you always had the perfect name for a panda swirling inside your head?
Well, now’s the time to put your panda-naming talents to good use, because, Malaysians, there will be a competition to name the new celebrity panda cub in town and you’re invited to take part.
The competition to name the cub — born to female giant panda named Liang Liang and her mate Xing Xing on Aug 18 — is expected to start three months from its birthdate, Bernama reports.
Deputy President of the National Zoo, Rosly@Rahmat Ahmat Lana was quoted as saying that the cub was healthy.
“The decision was made to hold the competition to attract as many entries as possible from people throughout the country,” he told Bernama, adding that the terms and conditions for this competition would only be decided on after the cub begins receiving visitors at the Giant Panda Conservation Centre.
