Bao Bao ate, drank, and slept normally during the 16-hour flight, according to a statement issued by Smithsonian’s National Zoo, where this Panda had been living for the past three years.
The panda’s keeper Marty Dearie, who was on a flight along with Dr. Katharine, said; “Bao Bao was a real champion during the flight. ”
The Dujiangyan Panda Base will be the new home of this high profile guest. But this will be her temporary home where she will be going through a month long quarantine process. Here she will be living in a 100-square meter enclosure that has been specially prepared for her and will be inclusive of both indoor and outdoor play areas.
