People wanting to see Wang Wang and Funi in their $8 million enclosure were warned of a need to book tickets in advance but there are still some available on the zoo's website.The pandas were officially welcomed to Adelaide on Sunday and the Chinese Ambassador Zhang Junsai is optimistic they will mate.

"The name of Funi means lucky girl and Wang Wang means net net. Who can rule out the possibility that the lucky girl will fall into the net of love and will later have a lovely baby Kung Fu Panda?" he said.
