MixxTOKYO - A pair of China's giant pandas now living at Ueno Zoo in Tokyo made their first public show in the country on Friday.
The pair, "Xian Nu" and "Bi Li", had survived the catastrophic March 11 earthquake.
They arrived at the Ueno Zoo on February 21 for a 10-year stay under a joint research agreement on the endangered species. Their Japanese names were "Shin Shin" and "Ri Ri" respectively.
