🎒🐼 Guess who's packing their bamboo and heading back home? Five of Madrid Zoo's most adored residents—a panda family—just embarked on an exciting journey back to the Chinese mainland! 🇨🇳✈️
On Thursday, panda parents Bing Xing and Hua Zui Ba waved goodbye to their Spanish friends alongside their three adorable cubs: Chulina, You You, and Jiu Jiu. This cuddly crew is set to settle into their new digs at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan Province. Talk about a homecoming! 🏞️🌿
Bing Xing and Hua Zui Ba have called Madrid home since 2007, and over the years, they've become quite the celebrity couple, making six little pandas who've won hearts all over Spain. 🥰 Their first three cubs, born in 2010 and 2013, have already made the journey back to China. Now, it's time for Chulina (born in 2016) and the twin troublemakers You You and Jiu Jiu (born in 2021) to explore their roots. 🌏👶👶
This farewell is bittersweet for Madrid Zoo Aquarium, but it's also a celebration of international cooperation and conservation efforts. 🌍💚 Who else thinks a family reunion in China sounds like the plot of the next big animated movie? 🎬🍿
Safe travels, panda pals! We'll miss you, but we can't wait to see the adventures that await you in your homeland. Don't forget to send us some selfies from Sichuan! 📸❤️
