Need2Know Headlines

So we know that life can be tough sometimes. So we'd like to take a moment to share one good thing happening in the world today. Three giant pandas are going back home Mei Xiang Tian Tian and their cub Xiao Qi Ji are heading back to China after living at the Simonian Smithsonian's National Zoo. They're leaving today for a 19 hour flight to China in containers that are filled with bamboo. The departure marks the end of more than 50 years of Chinese pandas being housed at the National Zoo which was the first US zoo to showcase the bears. Zoo staff call it a hiatus for the program and they remain hopeful. China will send more bears. Now Zoo Atlanta will be the only other US zoo to feature giant pandas.
