San Diego Zoo's New Pandas to Make Public Debut on August 8

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

  • The pandas arrived from China on June 28 and are settling into the newly revamped Panda Ridge.
  • The new enclosure is four times larger, emulating China's natural landscapes with mountains and canyons.
  • Visitors can see the pandas through timed tickets, a standby line, or a special early morning tour.
  • Yun Chuan, a nearly 5-year-old male, and Xin Bao, a 4-year-old female, symbolize international conservation efforts.
  • This marks a significant milestone in the San Diego Zoo's partnership with the China Wildlife Conservation Association.
