Pandas have returned to the San Diego Zoo.
Yun Chuan and Xin Bao, the first giant pandas to enter the U.S. in 21 years, have arrived safely in San Diego, the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance announced Friday.
The pair will spend the next several weeks acclimating to their new home in a private habitat at the San Diego Zoo. They won’t be viewable to the public during this time.
They are being monitored closely by wildlife health and care teams who will determine when the pair are ready to meet the public.
Yun Chuan is an almost 5-year-old male. His mother, Zhen Zhen, was born in 2007 and was the fourth cub born at the San Diego Zoo. Xin Bao is a nearly 4-year-old female.
