Showing off the strength of her hind legs by slowly crawling in one of the latest clips released by Ocean Park, one of Hong Kong’s giant panda cubs will celebrate her one-month birthday with her twin brother on Saturday.

The park will be marking the day by giving out vouchers for a dish traditionally eaten on such occasions – pork trotters stewed in ginger and vinegar.

The promotion on Friday will be extended to the first 815 participants, a nod to the panda cubs’ birthday on August 15.

Social media users have been closely watching the duo grow up on the park’s Instagram account dedicated to the pandas.

The most recent video showing the big sister’s strong hind legs saw someone jokingly comment that a future fight with her sibling could see the young brother sent flying.
