New Giant Pandas Bao Li and Qing Bao Arrive at Smithsonian National Zoo
TL;DR Summary
The Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, D.C., will welcome two new adolescent giant pandas, Bao Li and Qing Bao, by the end of the year, following the departure of its previous pandas to China. This marks a continuation of the decades-old practice of "panda diplomacy" despite recent strained U.S.-China relations. The zoo is upgrading its panda habitat in anticipation of the new arrivals, who will be on a 10-year loan from China.
