2 giant pandas arrive in Atlanta under a US-China government agreement

Two giant pandas, Ping Ping and Fu Shuang, have arrived at Zoo Atlanta under a US-China government agreement. The pandas will be on loan for a ten-year stay. This new arrangement with the China Wildlife Conservation Association establishes Zoo Atlanta as one of only three US institutions to house giant pandas, joining the San Diego Zoo and the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, D.C. The animals arrived in Atlanta on Sunday morning as part of this bilateral agreement.
