The Alliance has a Reputation for Awe-Inspiring Floats and Received Top Honors in 2024 with the Sweepstakes Award

Yun Chuan (yoon chu-an) and Xin Bao (sing bao), the first pandas to enter the United States in 21 years, made their public debut at the San Diego Zoo today following an opening ceremony for the Zoo’s much-anticipated new Panda Ridge habitat.

We’re doing the impossible. Or at least, what was once considered impossible.

At Panda Ridge, San Diego Zoo guests will have the opportunity to step inside these remarkable forests and discover new perspectives on how these iconic and beloved bears live their lives.

There’s absolutely, without a doubt, one thing that giant pandas must have in order to thrive: bamboo.

Giant pandas are different from other bears—and so are their health challenges.

Caring for these much-loved bears is a privilege—and it is also a huge responsibility.

The panda pair that arrived at the San Diego Zoo from China earlier this summer will make their eagerly awaited public debut on Thursday, August 8, the Zoo announced today. The two are the first pandas to enter the United States in 21 years.

San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance proudly shares first-look photos of the highly anticipated panda pair as they continue settling into their new home at the San Diego Zoo. Yun Chuan and Xin Bao, the first pandas to enter the United States in 21 years, arrived safely in San Diego on the afternoon of June 27. They are acclimating well to their new home in a private habitat and will not be viewable to the public for several weeks.
