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.

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.

Outcome-based Care practices are creating a whole new world for the species in our care.
