With the National Zoon in Washington getting ready for its new pandas, the San Diego Zoo, which recently became host to a pair, is showing them off online, enabling people around the globe to virtually connect with Xin Bao and Yun Chuan. The link for the camera is HERE
The Zoo says Xin Bao and Yun Chuan have acclimated beautifully to their expansive, bamboo-filled homes. The live camera means their playful antics and natural behaviors can be observed from anywhere 24/7.
Xin Bao, a four-year-old female panda born at Wolong Shenshuping Panda Base, is easily recognized by her large, round face and big ears. She is very active and alert and is an excellent climber. Yun Chuan, a five-year-old male, is the grandson of Bai Yun and Gao Gao, two giant pandas that thrived at the San Diego Zoo for decades. His mother Zhen Zhen was born at the Zoo in 2007. He’s identifiable by his long, slightly pointed nose.
