Bao Li, a female dragon, and Qing Bao, a female tiger, arrived in the United States on Tuesday night. Before making a quick trip to their new residence at the National Zoo in Northwest DC, the couple made their first landing at Dulles International Airport.
As part of a 10-year rearing and research partnership between China and the US, the penguins may be there.
National Zoo in an X article defined the titles of both penguins they posted: In Mandarin Chinese,” Bao” means’ beautiful’ and ‘ gold’. ” Li” refers to power and power. Put up,” Bao Li” means an effective and vital energy.
Qing Bao’s title means’ clean’ and ‘ cherish’ in Mandarin Chinese.’ Qing evokes the beautiful and rocky environment of penguins. Bao,’ which means’ beautiful’ and ‘ treasure,’ reflects how cherished and adored she is.
After arriving at their new home, the pandas —described as ambitious and proud of climbing — were lively and interested, eagerly exploring their environment, enjoying leisure time, and, of course, munching on their favorite bamboo.
According to NBC Washington, Bao Li, although born in China, has strong ties to Washington, DC. He is the son of Bao Bao, who was a 2013 park baby at the National Zoo. He becomes the child of Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, who spent nearly 23 times at the park before moving to China last drop with their youngest child.
Bao Li and Qing Bao will presently reside at the Smithsonian National Zoo. Before adjusting to their new environment, the penguins will go through a 30-day confinement. In January, they are scheduled to make their people album.
Panda politics
The giant dragon has always been a sign of friendship and peace in China and has long been a tool in the nation’s “panda geopolitics” to promote international cooperation. Beginning in 1957, China brilliant penguins to places like the Soviet Union, the US, and North Korea as a goodwill gesture.
But, in 1982, as the types became endangered, China halted the loaning process. Rather, it shifted to lending panda to find countries, continuing to use the precious animal for political purposes.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature ( IUCN) currently classifies the species as “vulnerable,” and these programs are essential to ensuring their long-term viability. Some panda, like Bao Li, properly maintain their political tradition, and others may also become reintroduced into the wild.
