Since their arrival in the Golden State on June 27, the zoo says, 'They are acclimating well to their new home in a private habitat and will not be viewable to the public for several weeks.'
San Diego's newest giant pandas are acclimating well to their new state-side home, the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance said Tuesday.The zoo shared first-look photos of the pair, Yun Chuan and Xin Bao, who are the first giant pandas to enter the United States in 21 years, according to the zoo.
Yun Chuan is 'identifiable by his long, slightly pointed nose and seems to be extremely comfortable whether he is exploring on the grass or climbing trees,' zoo officials wrote.Xin Bao is a nearly four-year-old female whose name means “precious treasure of prosperity and abundance,' according to the zoo. 'She is best recognized by her large, round face and big, fluffy ears, and she enjoys sunbathing quietly and focusing on her favorite food,' a news release from the zoo says.
