San Diego's mayor is flying to China Tuesday to participate in a farewell ceremony for pandas Yun Chuan and Xin BaoMayor Todd Gloria is en route to China to participate in farewell ceremonies for the two giant pandas coming to the San Diego Zoo under a research and conservation agreement.
Xin Bao is a nearly 4-year-old female and is described as a"gentle and witty introvert with a sweet round face and big ears," a zoo statement reads. Her name means a"new treasure of prosperity and abundance." "The return to San Diego of giant pandas is a testament to the nearly 30-year partnership the San Diego Zoo and Wildlife Alliance forged with China to successfully protect these magnificent creatures," Gloria said in February, when a deal between China and the United States first made news."I'm pleased this positive relationship and our advocacy have resulted in this major announcement. San Diegans look forward to welcoming the pandas back to America's Finest City.
