Fu Hu the giant panda has celebrated his second birthday with a party at Vienna's Schoenbrunn Zoo.

The cub, whose name means lucky tiger, was born to parents Long Hui and Yang Yang in 2010.

Although he is only two, keepers at the zoo say he is more like a teenager than a toddler, as he is already becoming more independent.

The panda enjoyed a cake and had fun playing in his enclosure.

According to the panda loan agreement, cubs must be taken to China to aid in conservation efforts after turning two years of age, so Fu Hu will leave Austria this autumn.

He will be taken to Bifengxia breeding facility in Sichuan where his brother, Fu Long, has been living since 2009.
