Giant Panda Xiao Qi Ji And His Parents At U.S. Zoo Will Return To China | iPanda

[@Furever_Pandas]

We are heartbroken. But we knew they were to return to their homeland. I saw them in person many times. They were happy and well taken care of. May they continue to live happy lives in their homeland.

As a biologist, I am not aware of any pandas tortured in America. Lun Lun and Yang Yang are 26. Tian Tian is 26 and Mei Xiang is 25. LeLe (25) outlived several pandas who also died this year, such as Cheng Gong (22), Lin Hui (21), Bao Xin (1 year and 9 months), and Xiao Huancai (one year old). Let's focus on the positive for the sake of the pandas. Through collaboration the world can continue to improve the pediatric, adolescent, and geriatric care for all pandas.

Chinese are very political. Don’t count on it.

少小离家老大回！ 竹是家乡的嫩！ 欢迎回家！🙏🙏🙏

[@swissotto1]

I could listen to these keepers all day talking about this charming family of pandas. I would love to hear in detail regarding their personalities, traits, and differences among them.

Thank you Smithsonian Zoo for taking great care of our Mei Xiang and Tian Tian for 23 years! ❤❤

人类需要保护大熊猫的家园才是真正的意义

[@Mets2015WorldSeries]

Take good care of them for us, and ipanda please update us.

🚙这下好了，起码回来看到饲养员不会吓得躲起来，看把孩子吓得

[@Christina_1511]

Yes...finally they will be back home!🥰😍❤❤ I'm so glad to know that 🤗❤💓After what's happened to LeLe and YaYa...I really hope all of the pandas can be back home for their safety life ❤🐼 🐼 ❤

[@shelvikartaatmaja3307]

@tinayuniwati5950 Oh Shut up. You need to learn how to read.

[@swissotto1]

How quiet it must be for staff at the Smithsonian Zoo who have worked with giant pandas over the years. Empty yards and enclosures~empty seats from which volunteers documented panda behavior observed from a bank of video screens~an empty chair from which the 24-hour panda cam was manned. And now the empty hearts of staff and visitor/viewers of Tian Tian, Mei Xiang, and their dear cub, Xiao Qi Ji. 😢

[@basicPROcreator]

Thanks to these people who are really fond of pandas. Thanks to their big heart. But I'm also thankful that all the pandas overseas will be sent back to China. For me, pandas are safer in China. They are more loved and will be healthier there.

[@Mets2015WorldSeries]

We love them so much here in the USA, they’re well taken care of too. Take good care of them for us. I know they will be fine but it’s just really sad

[@swissotto1]

The geriatric bears are a testament to the GOOD treatment they received from the Smithsonian. Your Chinese scientist stated they are in good condition. As far as love, why can’t you leave it that both sides dearly love these animals. We should be united on that point.

[@Mets2015WorldSeries]

@@swissotto1 yeah. I have no idea why everyone thinks they’re abused, they’re ancient. They’re alive, every expert says they’re fine

[@Christina_1511]

Yes I agree 👍 they will be more love and taken care in their homeland.. where they originally come from...I really grateful knowing this..😇🥰

[@Furever_Pandas]

They are loved greatly in America, that is why there were many tears over the last months. I saw them in person many times just this year. Every time I saw them I can attest to their happiness and how much they were loved by all that came to the National Zoo. We hope they will adapt well and continue to live happy lives. Why? Because it was heartbreaking to see the sad eyes of the french prince Yuan Meng during his first months back in his homeland. I saw how hard his keepers worked to make him feel at home. Now he is doing much better.

从小奇迹出生到现在，一直在关注~ 相对于那个孟菲斯，DC 这里的 Smithsonian's National Zoo 真的很赞💯

Thank you. I agree completely.

スミソニアンのパンダカムはもう見られなくなっていて、彼らはもう動物園を出発したとありました。 急すぎませんか？悲しすぎる。

[@Mets2015WorldSeries]

They left around 8 am eastern time

[@swissotto1]

Yes. I keep thinking of that and regretting that I wasn’t watching the panda cam in the last few days. 😢

[@tessdurberville711]

Oh, the people complaining and wanting them to go back to China are now complaining that they are gone. Please make up your minds.

[@gigirys9948]

[@nancyj6869]

we should be allow to keep pandas in the US........not fare.

明明長的肥胖肥胖的，哪裡來的受虐待？又不是YY！

[@Mets2015WorldSeries]

Oh wow first mei was starving and malnourished but now without any changes in diet she’s over fed? Jeez

[@Annabelwei]

那是現在，在有心人每天去現場直播並且隨時關注反應給動物園跟輿論，才讓牠們三隻因為受到關注變得越來好一些，你可以去看去年跟年初牠們的影片…跟現在是差很多的！

[@Mets2015WorldSeries]

@@AnnabelweiI’ve literally been watching these three pandas since 2020, I’ve seen nothing but good things from the zoo

[@Ohyeahhahaha]

​@@Annabelwei 你把那几只熊猫搞混了。美国不止一家动物园有熊猫。粉红也要讲事实，对吧？
