The pandas — Mei Xiang, Tian Tian and their youngest offspring, 3-year-old Xiao Qi Ji — will leave Washington, D.C., in mid-November 2023 to move to China.
Mei Xiang and Tian Tian have lived most of their lives at the National Zoo, arriving in December 2000 to much fanfareThe Smithsonian National Zoo's three giant pandas will leave for China sooner than expected, the zoo told NBC Washington on Wednesday.
“It’s gonna be hard for all of the keepers that work with them on a day-to-day basis because we spend so much time with the pandas," Assistant Curator of Giant Pandas Laurie Thompson said."Holidays, and you know, every day we're here. And so, it's, it's a little bit heartbreaking to not have them here.". An initial 10-year agreement to have Mei Xiang and Tian Tian live at the National Zoo was extended three times.
Those pandas died in the 1990s, leaving behind no surviving cubs. But Mei Xiang and Tian Tian turned that luck around for the zoo.
