Two giant pandas make debut at Zoo Atlanta

Two six‑year‑old giant pandas, Ping Ping and Fu Shuang, have made their public debut at Zoo Atlanta in Georgia.

The pair arrived in late September and spent the first few weeks in quarantine while adjusting to their new habitat.

With their arrival, Zoo Atlanta joins San Diego Zoo and the National Zoo in Washington DC as the only three U.S. zoos currently housing giant pandas.

Giant pandas have long been a symbol of US‑China relations, a tradition that began when Beijing presented a pair to the National Zoo in Washington DC in 1972.
