The arrival of Bao Li and Qing Bao marks the end of an eleven-month panda drought at the National Zoo, bringing renewed excitement for panda enthusiasts.
"Food prepared for the trip includes corn bread, bamboo and carrots, as well as water and medicine," said the China Wildlife Conservation Association, emphasizing the care being taken.
This new pair arrives as part of a 10-year agreement with Chinese authorities, amidst previous concerns of losing access to these beloved ambassadors.
