San Diego Zoo Launches Live Giant Panda Camera

SAN DIEGO, CA — Panda fans from across the globe can now tune in to watch the giant panda pair at the San Diego Zoo.

The zoo on Tuesday launched a giant panda live camera so people around the world can connect with Xin Bao and Yun Chuan.

In June, the duo became the first pandas to enter the U.S. in 21 years when they arrived safely in San Diego from China. Since then, they have acclimated to their home in the Panda Ridge exhibit, which opened to the public in August.

Xin Bao, a 4-year-old female, is best recognized by her round face and big ears. Her name means "precious treasure of prosperity and abundance."

Yun Chuan, a 5-year-old male, is identifiable by his long, slightly pointed nose. He is the grandson of Bai Yun and Gao Gao, two giant pandas that lived at the San Diego Zoo for decades. His mother, Zhen Zhen, was born at the zoo in 2007.

With the giant panda cam available 24/7, viewers can enjoy a front-row seat to Xin Bao and Yun Chuan's daily adventures at any time and from anywhere. The giant panda cam is available at sandiegozoo.org/pandacam.
