Yun Chuan and Xin Bao arrived at the zoo on June 27, and are settling into a private habitat, where they will stay for several weeks before being viewable to the public, according to the zoo.
See 1st photos of new pandas at San Diego ZooThe San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance -- the nonprofit that operates the zoo and safari park -- on Tuesday released new photos of the pandas, Yun Chuan and Xin Bao, settling in at the San Diego Zoo.
Yun Chuan is an almost 5-year-old male, while Xin Bao is a nearly 4-year-old female. 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," according to the zoo.Xin Bao has a "large, round face and big, fluffy ears, and she enjoys sunbathing quietly and focusing on her favorite food," according to the zoo.
"To help the pandas adjust to their new home, the teams conducted food adaptability exercises and weight monitoring sessions," the alliance said in a statement. "Additionally, veterinary teams from both countries are keeping a close eye on the pandas' health, tracking their weight, appetite and other health indicators daily to ensure they thrive in their new environment."Copyright © 2024 ABC News Internet Ventures.
