The National Zoo Prepares To Bid Farewell To Beloved Giant Panda Bei Bei
​

"The Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, DC, is home to 2,700 animals representing more than 390 species. However, few are as beloved as giant panda cub Bei Bei, whose progress, from a frail newborn weighing less than a third of a pound to a healthy, 240-pound (109-kg) "toddler," has been eagerly followed by millions of fans both online and on-site. On November 19, 2019, America will bid farewell as its favorite panda cub departs for Chengdu, China, to join a cooperative breeding program to try to save his vulnerable species, which currently numbers just 1,864 specimens in the wild.

Similar to his older siblings Tai Shan and Bao Bao, who left for China in 2010 and 2017 respectively, Bei Bei is the result of a collaboration between the zoo and the China Wildlife Conservation Association. Under the agreement, all offspring of giant pandas Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, both currently living at the National Zoo on loan from the Chinese government, have to be sent for breeding to the Wolong National Nature Reserve in China's Sichuan Province shortly after they turn four. Covering an area of about 50,000 acres in the Qionglai Mountains, the wildlife preserve is home to over 150 giant pandas, as well as other endangered animals such as snow leopards, golden monkeys, red pandas, and white-lipped deer."
