Giant pandas to debut at DC's National Zoo Friday
Giant pandas to debut at DC’s National Zoo Friday

Two giant pandas are set to make their highly anticipated debut to the public at the Smithsonian National Zoo in D.C. on Friday morning.
The pandas, Bao Li and Qing Bao, have been quarantined since they arrived in the U.S. from China in mid-October, giving the animals time to adjust to their newly renovated habitat.
Tickets to the National Zoo are free. For those who can’t say hello in person, the Giant Panda Cam is expected to relaunch Friday.
From now through Feb. 9, the zoo is celebrating the pandas’ return with events, including a screening of “Kung Fu Panda” in the Visitor Center Theater.
