Today twin giant pandas Xiao Xiao and Lei Lei will be leaving the only home they’ve known, at Ueno Zoo in Tokyo, and will be transported to China.The twins are the last pandas in Japan, leaving the country panda-less for the first time in about half a century. They are scheduled to arrive at the same facility in China as their elder sister, Xiang Xiang, tomorrow.
The twin pandas were born to parents Shin Shin and Ri Ri at Ueno Zoo in 2021. The twins became the last two pandas in Japan after the other four at Adventure World in Wakayama Prefecture departed for China in June of last year.
Will you get to see them before they go? I hope so.
ReplyDeleteThe Ueno district of Tokyo will lose a lot of its charm... I am sad to see them go.
