Ya Ya the Panda Returns Home to China After 20 Years Abroad.

Ya Ya, a giant panda born in Beijing in 2000, returned to China after spending 20 years on loan at the Memphis Zoo in Tennessee. Her departure was closely followed on Chinese social media, with many expressing excitement for her return. Earlier this year, allegations of neglect and abuse circulated on Chinese social media alongside pictures of Ya Ya with discolored and patchy fur, but the Memphis Zoo stated that her quality of life was not affected by her condition.
