The local Harbin Daily reported on Friday that the animals, known as Olympic babies, will be settled in a special area in the zoo.

Their new home is still under construction but should be completed by May Day this year.

At that time, visitors will be able to feed the Olympic babies and have their pictures taken with them.

The group of Olympic babies include some rare animals like white tigers, white lions and African lions according to the report.
