This is the adorable moment a pair of panda cubs cling to a zookeeper as he tries to leave them alone.

One of the panda clings to the man's leg after he lifts it into its enclosure in China.

As the zookeeper attempts to shut the gate, the panda then starts rubbing its nose against his leg.

Footage of the incident has been viewed thousands of times since it was posted online yesterday.
