The last U.S. zoo with pandas in its care expects to say goodbye to the four giant bears this fall.

Zoo Atlanta is making preparations to return panda parents Lun Lun and Yang Yang to China along with their American-born twins Ya Lun and Xi Lun, zoo officials said Friday. There is no specific date for the transfer yet, they said, but it will likely happen between October and December.

The four Atlanta pandas have been the last in the United States since the National Zoo in Washington returned three pandas to China last November. Other American zoos have sent pandas back to China as loan agreements lapsed amid heightened diplomatic tensions between the two nations.

Can't we use AI and 3D printers to make our own pandas? Or do we have to use those chow dogs?



If China takes away all our pandas, the U.S. will be taken over by invasive bamboo?

You know the zoos kept plenty of panda genetic material.

Exactly, clone some of these Pandas, put them on battery backup... if they can do this for Joe Biden, they can do it as well for a PANDA BEAR.

I got to see the pandas once at the zoo down in Washington D.C.

It reminded me of this:

Maybe I got there on a day they hadn't been bathed. But all I saw was a dingy rear end of one sticking out of some enclosure, dirty, looked like poop stains, and I honestly didn't see what the draw was/

We have a Panda gap.

Biden is so incompetent he let the Chinese take our Pandas.

Too bad the Chinese won’t take back all the forest and agricultural pests they have given us that are wiping out prime species of trees, citrus, etc.

Panda free finally. It’s cheaper to make some AI pandas than paying the a million dollar lease per panda.

Fine, take your pandas.

And tell your leader to quit imitating our Winnie the Pooh.

We need to make peace with China even if it means handing over Taiwan.

THINK OF THE CHILDREN... who want to see cute pandas!
