Pandas Prepare For Life In Edinburgh Zoo
Loading...
Uploaded by skynews on Dec 2, 2011
Edinburgh Zoo is about to take delivery of two of the rarest animals on the planet - a pair of giant pandas on loan from the Chinese government.
Sunshine and Sweetie - Yangguang and Tian Tian in Chinese - are both seven-years-old. They have grown up together in the misty mountains of southwest China.
On Sunday they will embark on a 5,000 mile journey to Scotland, where they will become star exhibits at the Edinburgh Zoo.
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland will pay more than £600,000 a year for the loan of the pandas, plus another £70,000 on imported bamboo. The pair eat 18,000kg of the plant every year.
Sunshine and Sweetie will fly to the UK on a specially fitted Fedex cargo plane, along with their "nanny" Xie Hao.
