The special public unveiling of “Panda Ridge” was scheduled for noon on Thursday. They’re the first pandas to come to the United States in 21 years.
Giant panda Xin Bao is seen in her Panda Ridge habitat at the San Diego Zoo on Wednesday, one day before the bear and a male, Yun Chuan, were due to go on display. The pandas arrived at the end of June.
The special public unveiling of “Panda Ridge” was slated for noon local time on Thursday — a date proclaimed by Gov. Gavin Newsom as California Panda Day as he welcomed “envoys of friendship” from China. Xin Bao , a female, is almost 4. Her distinguishing features include a “large, round face and big, fluffy ears,” the zoo said.that in addition to a standby line that opened hours before the exhibit, it would issue complimentary timed tickets to see the pandas. The zoo also offers a one-hour early-morning walking tour focusing on the animals, with a price starting at $92.
