  • Two giant pandas, Ping Ping and Fu Shuang, are being readied in Chengdu for Zoo Atlanta.
  • Zoo Atlanta welcomed a new 10-year conservation agreement announced before U.S. President Donald Trump’s China visit.
  • The pandas will first travel to a southern Chinese base before the 8,000-mile U.S. trip.
  • China retains ownership of the pandas and any offspring, a policy reflected in recent U.S. zoo loans.
