San Diego Zoo Unveils First Photos of New Giant Pandas

Yun Chuan and Xin Bao, the first pandas in the U.S. in 21 years, are settling into their new habitat.

  • The pandas arrived from China on June 27 and are acclimating well in a private habitat.
  • Yun Chuan, a nearly five-year-old male, can be identified by his long, pointed nose.
  • Xin Bao, a nearly four-year-old female, is known for her large, round face and fluffy ears.
  • Zoo staff are collaborating with Chinese experts to meet the pandas' dietary needs.
  • Public viewing of the pandas will begin in several weeks after they have fully settled.
