Pandas will return to Washington’s National Zoo

The Smithsonian National Zoo announced Wednesday that giant pandas would return to Washington, D.C.

After nearly six months without pandas in the zoo, China will send two panda bears to the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington. In a comical video featuring first lady Jill Biden, the Smithsonian announced the pandas’ return.

“As secretary of the Smithsonian, I’m thrilled to announce that within this year, we’ll once again welcome a new pair of giant pandas to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo,” Lonnie G. Bunch III, secretary of the Smithsonian, said in the announcement video.
