The San Diego Zoo has not hosted pandas since 2019, when China recalled most of its giant pandas from U.S. zoos over diplomatic tensions at the time.
This photogenic pair will be the first set of giant pandas to enter the U.S. in 21 years. This is part of a special conservation agreement between China and the United States, signaling a new era of cooperation between the two countries. After a special farewell ceremony earlier Wednesday, attended by Mayor Todd Gloria, the pandas will fly the more than 7,300 miles from China to the San Diego Zoo. The Zoo is busy preparing for their arrival, including an expanded home for them.
