CHENGDU: A pair of giant pandas will leave for Moscow, Russia for collaborative research, a panda research base in south-west China’s Sichuan province said.
Male Ru Yi, born in 2016, and female Ding Ding, born in 2017, are scheduled to depart Chengdu tomorrow and arrive in Moscow at 10pm Beijing time the same day, the research base said.
The pair of giant pandas will live in the Moscow Zoo for 15 years, according to the research project.
