The San Diego Zoo in California is debuting two giant pandas on August 8 in its new habitat as part of a 30-year long conservation partnership with China.
A pair of pandas are making their big American debut. Two giant pandas from China have officially arrived at the San Diego Zoo with the grand re-opening of their exhibit on Aug. 8. The pandas, named Xin Bao and Yun Chuan, will live in the zoo’s newly renovated and expanded Panda Ridge, which is inspired by the landscapes of their native habitats in the Suchuan, Gansu and Shanxi provinces, according to the zoo’s website.
The zoo welcomed its first giant pandas in 1996, making 'critical' discoveries about the animals' reproductive behavior as well as physiology, health, genetics, nutrition and habitat needs, according to the zoo.
This is just months after the zoo returned three bears to China in Nov. 2023 amid heightened U.S.-China tensions. Fox News Digital reached out to the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance for comment.
