- Welcome, Bao Li and Qing Bao!
- Description
- Two "treasures" arrived at the Zoo today! Join us in welcoming giant pandas Bao Li and Qing Bao, who entered Zoo grounds shortly after 11:30 a.m. today and are settling into their new homes at the David M. Rubenstein Family Giant Panda Habitat. . . . 🐼♂️ In Mandarin Chinese, "Bao" means 'precious' and 'treasure'. "Li" refers to vitality and strength. Put together, "Bao Li" means an active and vital power. . . . 🐼♀️ Qing Bao's name means 'green' and 'treasure' in Mandarin Chinese. 'Qing' evokes the lush and mountainous habitat of pandas. 'Bao,' which means 'precious' and 'treasure,' reflects how cherished and adored she is. . . . ✈️ Thank you to our partners at @FedEx for transporting our new bear pair and members of the panda team safely from China. Stay tuned for more updates about the bear pair by following #DCPandas. . . . 🥳 Although the pandas are in quarantine and will not be on view for a while, there are plenty of ways to get in on the panda fun!
