The giant pandas Yun Chuan and Xin Bao, who recently settled at the San Diego Zoo in California, have been in good health four weeks after their arrival. They have started to gradually engage in training for more complex movements such as lying on their side, lying face down, and standing.
The male giant panda Yun Chuan and the female giant panda Xin Bao safely arrived at the San Diego Zoo on the afternoon of June 27. By July 25, the two pandas successfully completed their four-week quarantine period.
According to the fourth-week quarantine journal released by the China Wildlife Conservation Association, Yun Chuan and Xin Bao have adapted to their new environment. To ensure their health, a deworming plan was implemented for them this week. Under the meticulous care of a team of Chinese and American experts, both pandas are in good health with stable indicators.

The Chinese and American expert team has introduced small pieces of steamed corn bread, apples, and carrots hidden randomly in the pandas’ activity area to enhance their living quality. This encourages Yun Chuan and Xin Bao to sniff and search for food, providing them with the fun of foraging and increasing their physical activity. In terms of diet, they are also provided with three different types of bamboo shoots. In terms of behavioral training, Yun Chuan and Xin Bao have started to gradually engage in training for more complex movements such as lying on their side, lying face down, and standing.
The San Diego Zoo was the first institution in the United States to collaborate with China on giant panda research. Yun Chuan and Xin Bao’s new home was constructed through the renovation and expansion of the zoo’s original giant panda exhibit. On August 8, Yun Chuan and Xin Bao will make their first public appearance at the San Diego Zoo’s “Panda Canyon.”
