New murals, hammock, cameras await National Zoo’s new giant pandas
There’s lush new sod in the National Zoo’s giant panda compound. There’s a new panda “hammock,” made out of strips of fire hose. And there are 40 new cameras in the Pandacam system. As Washington awaits the imminent arrival from China of two new giant pandas — Qing Bao, a 3-year-old female, and Bao Li, a 3-year-old male — the zoo says it is ready.
