Paws for a panda sneak peek 🐼 Yun Chuan and Xin Bao arrived safely in San Diego on June 27th and are settling in comfortably thanks to their wildlife care experts. Yun Chuan has been spending his days climbing trees or rolling in the grass, while Xin Bao loves sunbathing and chowing down on her favorite food, bamboo. The adorable duo will spend the next few weeks acclimating to their new home privately as our Wildlife Care and Wildlife Health team members closely monitor them collaboratively with our Chinese conservation partners. They will be viewable to guests later this summer. Visit the link in our bio for more details. #americasfinestpandas #pandiego #pandas #sandiegozoo

The work of SDZWA extends from San Diego to strategic and regional conservation “hubs” across the globe, where their strengths—via their “Conservation Toolbox,” including the renowned Wildlife Biodiversity Bank—are able to effectively align with hundreds of regional partners to improve outcomes for wildlife in more coordinated efforts.

Teddy no swiping! 🦊 A red fox with a rare silver and white coat, Teddy was found in Wisconsin as an orphaned fox kit and was initially cared for by the Dane County Humane Society’s Wildlife Center. Because Teddy was incredibly friendly and unafraid of humans, he was deemed non-releasable. He's currently in training to become a wildlife ambassador at Africa Rocks where he'll help educate guests on why wildlife do not make good pets.

San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance leaders joined esteemed dignitaries and conservation leaders in China for a farewell ceremony honoring Yun Chuan and Xin Bao, the two giant pandas coming to San Diego Zoo. The ceremony at the China Conservation & Research Center for Giant Pandas in Sichuan Province celebrated the deep connections of giant pandas to the San Diego Zoo and our longstanding partnership with the China Wildlife Conservation Association (CWCA). So, when can you see them? 👀🐼 After the pandas have safely arrived in San Diego, they will not be viewable to the public while they acclimate for several weeks to their new home. As soon as wildlife health and care teams confirm Yun Chuan and Xin Bao are ready to meet the public, we will share a debut date and specific information about how to see the beloved pandas. We can’t wait to welcome the first panda pair to enter the United States in 21 years and share them with their adoring fans. See you soon! #AmericasFinestPandas #Pandiego #SanDiegoZoo

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a butterfly migration! We're here to help identify the various butterflies you might be seeing this summer. Butterfly migration is a fascinating natural phenomenon where some species travel thousands of miles to escape harsh weather conditions or in response to limited resources.

Power to the pollinators 🐝 Bees, flies, beetles, butterflies, and more are tiny powerhouses that are crucial for our ecosystems. Without them, 1,200 crops and over 180,000 plant species wouldn't survive. Everyone can "bee" an ally for pollinators by avoiding pesticides, growing nectar plants, and gearing your garden toward a native plant haven for wildlife. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gFyh4FHf
