Bei Bei, one of three giant pandas at the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, is scheduled to leave the nation's capital on Tuesday, Nov. 19 to live in China, zoo officials said Friday.
A fan-favorite at the zoo, visitors have watched Bei Bei in person and via"panda cam" grow from a small cub to a 240-pound bear since his birth on Aug. 22, 2015. To celebrate Bei Bei's first four years of life in the district, the zoo is hosting a farewell celebration dubbed"Bye Bye, Bei Bei" from Nov. 11 to Nov. 18.
Once Bei Bei arrives in Chengdu, his new keepers will accompany him to his new habitat at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. Keepers from the National Zoo have also said they will stay with him until he settles in. Bei Bei will join the giant panda breeding program in China when he reaches sexual maturity, likely between the ages of 5 and 7.
Panda beibei has finished its career, that feeding program in US and ready to get home. Wish you a good luck~
Let it go to its native place.
He is the first panda to be deported back home, he is a victim of Sino-US bad relationship. Americans feel pandas are no more cute.
Syrian Kurds throw rotten stones to withdrawing US forces in Qamishli/Syria.
Better leave before Trump taxes him.

MAYBE THEY'LL TAKE TRUMP WITH THEM... ONEWAY TICKET, NO DEPOSIT NO RETURN...
So many of the comments here are negative and political. For shame! The effort here is to make the Pandas viable and return them to the wild. We have enjoyed their time with us and know it is best that they return.
BEI BEI PLEASE DON'T GO!
No.
Tariff free?
Good riddance
When will Trump do the same?
Look what the NBA did
hope his Chinese is good
Animal cruelty at its worst.
So bei bei is a communist party member? Well, the ChiComs cage people too. They are good at building cages.
Word son
“Bye bye to Bei Bei”, “panda to leave for China”... Nice
Free Bei Bei
The giant panda steals US technology and will return to China. Trump should take action to impose tariffs.
😢hate to see them go
