It is not Trump and Vanceor Harris and waltz getting all the attention in Washington, D.C….instead, it’s Bao Li and Qing Bao – the new giant pandas at the National Zoo.
The pair arrived in style on Tuesday – flying privately on a FedEx cargo jet from China… and once they arrived at their new home, they were given the celebrity treatment. News helicopters followed their journey from the airport… and the zoo released video of them settling into their enclosure.
The reason people lined up outside the zoo hoping to catch just a glimpse of Bao and Qing is because the zoo has been without pandas for a year. Last fall, the National Zoo sent its last three pandas back to China and no one knew when or if they would hear back.
Well, the new fluffy balls look totally comfortable in their new crib – munching on bamboo stalks and rolling around. Its adoring public will have to be pleased with whatever images the zoo releases, because they are in quarantine while they acclimatize.
The funny thing is… the public’s first chance to visit them in person will be on January 24th, the same week our next president takes office.
Finally, a DC duo that isn’t political!
