Meanwhile, Ocean Park continues to keep the public updated about Ying Ying and the panda cubs via various social media platforms.
One of the posts features the adorable ways the siblings sleep: the brother sleeps with his mouth open and the sister rests in her superhero pose makes one wonder what kind of dreams they might be having, if any.
