National Zoo Wins Permit to Import Giant Pandas
The National Zoo received a U S Fish and Wildlife Service import permit to bring two giant pandas from China replacing two that died. Mei Xiang and Tian Tian will arrive December 6 after a 17 hour MD 11 flight to Dulles and will be quarantined 30 days. The two are part of a 10 year 10 million dollar conservation program with China.
