"Unusual Arrivals: Icelandic Ponies and West Bank Dogs Land at J.F.K."

The ARK at J.F.K. received 69 dogs from the Daily Hugz rescue sanctuary in the West Bank, where they were cared for by Maad Abu-Ghazalah. The shelter in the West Bank faced challenges amid the Israel-Hamas war, prompting the transfer of the dogs to the ARK. The ARK is a 14-acre facility at Kennedy International Airport that handles the transportation and care of various animals, ensuring their comfort and well-being during travel.

Pandas Fly Home: National Zoo's Beloved Bears Return to China via FedEx

FedEx has been entrusted with the task of transporting three giant pandas, Tian Tian, Mei Xiang, and Xiao Qi Ji, from the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, D.C., back to China. The bears are being flown on a dedicated FedEx Panda Express plane, accompanied by National Zoo staff and a FedEx loadmaster to ensure their safety and comfort. The pandas have custom-built transport enclosures and are the sole cargo on the flight, with over 250 pounds of food, including bamboo and other treats, provided for their journey. This marks the end of the Smithsonian National Zoo's panda conservation program, which spanned over five decades, as they continue their efforts to protect the future of giant pandas and their habitat.

Panda Departure: D.C.'s Giant Pandas Bid Farewell with Packed Bags

The National Zoo in Washington, D.C. is preparing to say goodbye to its three giant pandas as they are set to depart for China in mid-November. The pandas, Mei Xiang, Tian Tian, and their son Xiao Qi Ji, will be transported in separate shipping containers aboard a Boeing 777 FedEx cargo plane. Due to airspace restrictions, the journey will take a longer route over the Pacific Ocean with a refueling stop in Alaska. This marks the end of a 51-year era of giant pandas in Washington, leaving the city without these beloved creatures for the first time in 23 years. The pandas will have to adjust to their new home in China, where they will be cared for by different keepers and learn some Chinese prompts.
