    Edinburgh Zoo pandas immortalised in The Beano comic - Daily Record

    THE UK's only pandas have been captured in cartoon form in an edition of The Beano comic.

    Tian Tian and Yang Guang enjoy an adventure with Dennis the Menace and Gnasher in an episode at Edinburgh Zoo.

    The giant pandas arrived in Scotland from Ya'an reserve in Chengdu, China on December 4 last year and have proved a popular attraction at the zoo.

    Mike Stirling, editor-in-chief of The Beano and BeanoMax, said: "Dennis & Gnasher's wild behaviour brought complete panda-monium to Edinburgh Zoo when they gate-crashed to invite Tian Tian and Yang Guang to become our first-ever panda cover stars.

    "Our giant panda pals were happy to pose for The Beano's artists, and actually turned out to be giant pranksters, sharing a few wild menacing tricks of their own."

    The edition is available from June 27.

    Sharon Simpson, head of marketing for the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, said: "Edinburgh Zoo was delighted to be approached by The Beano to create a special panda edition.

    "Being immortalised in this iconic way is testament to the popularity and celebrity of our giant panda pair Tian Tian and Yang Guang."
