Two Giant Pandas Arrive at Zoo Atlanta After Quarantine
On 28 September, Zoo Atlanta received two giant pandas after a month-long quarantine, beginning a ten-year loan from China. The animals, a six-year-old male named Ping Ping and a five-year-old female named Fu Shuang, were delivered to the zoo's new biosecure facility.
The pandas had departed Chengdu on 20 September on a 15-hour flight, continuing China's long-standing practice of loaning pandas to strengthen diplomatic ties with the United States. The loan agreement was announced during President Xi Jinping's visit to the United States.
