BEIJING - Munching their favorite bamboo and apples, the first pair of twin pandas born after the Sichuan earthquake on May 12, 2008, Le Le and Mei Mei, first met the public last month and were adopted by their new "parents".

Coca Cola, the world's largest beverage giant, has recently announced it would provide lifelong financial support by adopting the pair of 8-month-old twin pandas at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding (Chengdu Panda Base).

In the next 15 to 20 years, Coca Cola will invest over 1 million yuan to guarantee Le Le and Mei Mei's food supply, healthcare and help promote a better living environment for them.
