A ceremony was conducted on Friday at a safari park in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province, to unveil the IP character inspired by Sister Pig, the endearing nickname of the daughter of Mengmeng, the eldest of the world's only giant panda triplets.
Sister Pig and her mother will celebrate their first Mid-Autumn Festival together. They'll be joined by other giant pandas and over 20,000 wild animals celebrating the festival in various ways, according to Chimelong Safari Park.
Mengmeng gave birth to Sister Pig on June 18 after a 128-day pregnancy, according to the park.
Since the establishment of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Guangdong province, the park has bred 11 panda cubs, becoming one of the major bases for the breeding of giant pandas.
