Three giant pandas born and raised in Japan have returned to China under a standard agreement to improve the breeding success of the rare animals.
The 6-year-old twins and their 4-year-old sister had been living at Wakayama Adventure World in southern Japan.
The three arrived Monday night in the city of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province that is home to most wild pandas, as well as sanctuaries and breeding centers.
The official Xinhua News Agency said the three were traveling Tuesday to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding where they will be quarantined for a month while they acclimatize to their new home before being displayed to the public.
