ATLANTA: Giant pandas Ping Ping and Fu Shuang made their public debut at Zoo Atlanta on Friday, delighting visitors as they chewed bamboo and lounged in their new habitat while on loan from China.

The male, Ping Ping, and the female, Fu Shuang, arrived from Chengdu in September on a FedEx flight dubbed the “Panda Express.” They will stay at the zoo in the southern United States for the next 10 years.

Pandas are “animals that have got a unique ability to inspire curiosity, instill passion, evoke joy and unite people around the globe,” Zoo Atlanta CEO Raymond King told onlookers. “This extraordinary spirit of partnership helps create a future for a species that is truly beloved the world over.”

To prepare for their arrival, the zoo renovated its panda facilities and assembled a team of caretakers.
