Austria: Fu Feng and Fu Bao

On 7th October I got two postcards from Austria.

One of them shows the Giant Panda twins Fu Feng and Fu Bao at the Tiergarten Schönbrunn. Already since 2003 the zoo is home to Giant Pandas and due to the big breeding successes they are allowed to stay longer in Vienna than the usual ten years. When I visited the Tiergarten Schönbrunn in 2014, it was home to three Giant Pandas: Yang Yang (female), Long Hui (male) and their cub Fu Bao (male). Fu Bao (born in 2013) was already their third cub. Fu Feng and Fu Bao are their youngest cubs and were born in August 2016 just four months before their father Long Hui died. 

The card was signed during a World Postcard Day Meet-up in Vienna. The stamp is from a set of three about floor sports (issued 25-09-2021).


Thank You very much Anna!
