    The Smithsonian National Zoo is to be congratulated for the excellent work in caring for our little angels.👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤
    May all zoos follow the same example, especially the demonic zoo that allowed King LeLe to die and Queen YaYa to return to China with her health completely weakened due to lack of food.👹😭

    Makes me so sad. Always felt they were a beacon of hope between us and China.
    I hope they will reconsider and give us more, despite our political differences.

      Do compare the state of the pandas after they return to china versus when they’re in US…especially the panda back from Memphis. Americans are not competent to raise any pandas or maybe just plain cruel.

    If she said "So so sad" one more time ........
    Did that woman actually say "3 dangerous CARNIVORES" ??? How on earth was she chosen to speak for, let alone hired by a zoo? Pandas are HERBIVORES! They eat bamboo, apples, carrots, woutou, milk and honey!
    And to the people who waited until one month before the pandas left, why did you not go sooner?

      Exactly. These Americans can even spin blatant lies about a lumbering, bamboo eating, gentle animal which had never had an aggressive encounter with humans. So now, the Americans public is being told that pandas are carnivores and pandas are aggressive. 😮

      These captive animal have no survival skill in the wild, if they were released back to the wild, they will likely unable to last very long.
      Releasing captive Giant Panda back to wild start in the early 2000s, by training new born cubs with their wild born Giant Panda moms in an enclosed wild habitat, so that the cub/s could learn all the survival skills from their wild born mother.
      They are constantly monitor by the human trainers on their development, for example how to avoid danger, how to find food and water etc.
      Eventually, they were assessed whether they have the survival skills to survive in the wild. If yes, they would be released back to the wild where the wild panda population is small, so to increase the number and genetic diversity of these small wild panda populations..
      Chinese started this program at least since 2006 and by 2019, and at least 13 pandas have being released by 2019.
      There should be more releases after that , but "China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Panda" has stopped releasing information about the program after 2019.
