Description
Panda fans from all over the US visit the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington DC to see the pandas for one last time, as the zoo holds week-long farewell celebrations for them. The pandas Mei Xiang, Tian Tian and their cub Xiao Qi Ji, are scheduled to be returned to China in early December. "When I heard that these pandas were leaving...and there would be no panda bears left in all of North America, since there’s none in Canada and only one very old one in Mexico, I was really, really upset," says Jane Christensen who drove all the way from Michigan to see the animals.
