A set of huge pandas will quickly make the journey from China to the United States, where they will be taken care of at the San Diego zoo as part of a continuous preservation collaboration in between the 2 countries, authorities stated on Monday.
The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance stated its caretakers just recently went to China to fulfill the huge pandas, Yun Chuan and Xin Bao, ahead of their prepared journey to southern California. A specific date for the handoff has actually not been set.
Yun Chuan, a mild-mannered male who is almost 5 years of ages, has “deep connections” to California, the wildlife alliance stated. His mom, Zhen Zhen, was born at the San Diego Zoo in 2007 to moms and dads Bai Yun and Gao Gao.
Xin Bao is an almost four-year-old female referred to as “a mild and amusing introvert with a sweet round face and huge ears”.
“Our preservation partners in China shared pictures and characteristic of Yun Chuan and Xin Bao, however satisfying them personally was so unique,” stated Dr Megan Owen, the alliance’s vice-president of preservation science. “It’s motivating as individuals from worldwide come together to save, secure, and take care of these unique bears, and we can’t wait to invite them to San Diego.”
The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance has an almost 30-year collaboration with leading preservation organizations in China concentrated on securing and recuperating huge pandas and the bamboo forests they depend upon.
