There was a show of unity between the US and China on Aug. 8, 2024 as San Diego Zoo officially opened its new panda enclosure to the public, where people can finally see Yun Chuan and Xin Bao, a pair of Chinese giant pandas that were the first to enter the United States in 21 years. Yun Chuan, a five-year-old male is easily recognized by his long, slightly pointed nose, while Xin Bao is a four-year-old female with big fluffy ears whose name means a 'precious treasure of prosperity and abundance.' The zoo is working closely with Chinese experts to aid in the adaptation period and understanding of the needs of the two pandas.
