San Diego Zoo Debuts First Pandas in 21 Years

Yun Chuan and Xin Bao, the first pandas from China to arrive in the U.S. in 21 years, are set to make their public debut at the San Diego Zoo on August 8. The pandas are part of a conservation effort symbolizing international collaboration and hope for the species. Their new home, Panda Ridge, offers a larger, geologically inspired habitat that aims to support their well-being and natural behaviors. Visitors can see the pandas through timed tickets, a standby line, or an exclusive walking tour, reflecting the zoo's commitment to providing diverse viewing opportunities. The arrival of these pandas marks a significant milestone for the San Diego Zoo and highlights ongoing efforts in panda conservation and public engagement.
