A pair of giant pandas made its debut at Madrid Zoo Aquarium with an official ceremony attended by authorities and experts from both China and Spain.
Male Jin Xi, born on September 1, 2020, and female Zhu Yu, born on October 25, 2020, will be spending 10 years at the zoo under the China-Spain giant panda conservation program.
The pair arrived in Spain on April 29 and have completed a month-long quarantine period. Their Chinese caregivers from Chengdu will spend a few more months with them to ensure their smooth relocation and adjustment to their new life.
Madrid Zoo Aquarium received its first pair of giant pandas from China in 1978. In February, the park bid farewell to a panda family of five, when the pandas returned home to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in southwest China's Sichuan Province.
