Many animals are just as enthusiastic about sitting in the sun and soaking up some rays, and they exhibit some unique behaviors while they’re doing it.

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.

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.

As the world comes together to cheer on our top athletes, let’s take a moment to celebrate and admire the wildlife that could rival them.

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

Want to unwind for a bit during your next summer visit to the San Diego Zoo or the San Diego Zoo Safari Park? Explore these immersive opportunities to relax in nature.

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.
