  • Watch: The Giant Panda Cam is back at the National Zoo


    The Giant Panda Cam is live from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET daily.

    WASHINGTON — Giant pandas Bao Li [BOW-lee] and Qing Bao [ching-BOW] made their public debut at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute (NZCBI) on Friday. Zoo workers and city officials held a special ceremony to unveil the pandas to the public, declaring the Zoo the “District of Panda.”

    “For over 50 years, giant pandas have been an integral part of the fabric and culture of Washington, D.C., thanks in large part to the support of the communities that live and work in the District,” Brandie Smith, the John and Adrienne Mars Director of NZCBI, said. “Bao Li and Qing Bao have won our hearts, and we’re excited to welcome panda fans back to the Zoo—the only place in the nation where you can see giant pandas for free—and celebrate the newest chapter of our giant panda breeding and conservation program.”

    As part of the giant panda comeback, the National Zoo relaunched its Giant Panda Cam, sponsored by The Boeing Company, ensuring virtual visitors could join in the celebration and welcome the animal ambassadors to Washington. The Giant Panda Cam is composed of 40 cameras operated from a central system by a corps of specially trained volunteers. The webcams broadcast from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET. After 7 p.m., the day’s recording is rebroadcast to ensure virtual visitors around the world can view the animals at their most active.

    More Panda fun:

    From Jan. 24 to Feb. 9, the Zoo will host the District of Panda Party, a public celebration with special events and programs, including a Lunar New Year event. It is made possible with the support of Boeing, FedEx, Pepco and Events DC.

    During the District of Panda Party, visitors can celebrate on-site at the Zoo with free and family-friendly entertainment, including film screenings of “Kung Fu Panda” in the Visitor Center Theater and cultural activities provided courtesy of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China. Details on the events are available on the Zoo’s website and will continue to be updated as the event approaches.

    Panda merch:

    Limited-edition “The Pandas Are Here” merchandise is now available online and on-site at the zoo. The collection includes T-shirts, sweatshirts, glassware, tote bags and more.

  • Giant pandas to debut at DC’s National Zoo Friday


    Two giant pandas are set to make their highly anticipated debut to the public at the Smithsonian National Zoo in D.C. on Friday morning.

    Two giant pandas are set to make their highly anticipated debut to the public at the Smithsonian National Zoo in D.C. on Friday morning.

    The pandas, Bao Li and Qing Bao, have been quarantined since they arrived in the U.S. from China in mid-October, giving the animals time to adjust to their newly renovated habitat.

    Tickets to the National Zoo are free. For those who can’t say hello in person, the Giant Panda Cam is expected to relaunch Friday.

    From now through Feb. 9, the zoo is celebrating the pandas’ return with events, including a screening of “Kung Fu Panda” in the Visitor Center Theater.

    DC’s panda drought is over

    The zoo’s previous beloved bears, Tian Tian, Mei Xiang and Xiao Qi Ji, were returned to China in November 2023.

    The new bears didn’t arrive until 11 months later, causing some fear in the interim that the partnership between the two countries to exchange the animals in the name of conservation was a thing of the past.

    While the wait may have felt unbearable to some, panda-lovers rejoiced at the bears’ return to D.C. in October, cheering them on as their police-escorted motorcade drove into the National Zoo on Oct. 15, 2024.

    Over the last several months, the zoo has been helping Bao Li and Qing Bao get used to the smells and sounds of crowds. Part of that has involved some zoo members visiting the panda enclosure, which was renovated in their absence.

    They’ve been playing in the snow and enjoying lots of bamboo, zookeepers said.

    Spot the difference? How to tell the new pandas apart

    The black-and-white bears can look pretty similar at first glance, but the Smithsonian Magazine has some tips for telling the new pandas apart.

    Off the bat, Bao Li, a 3-year-old boy, is bigger than Qing Bao.

    But here are some other key markers the magazine pointed out:

    • Qing Bao has two round, dark-colored birthmarks on her left backside
    • Qing Bao has fluffier cheeks than Bao Li
    • Bao Li’s eye patches are wider and have pointy tips that flare out more than Qing Bao
    • The black band across Bao Li’s back is thicker and down his middle; Qing Bao’s is thinner and higher

    Of course, their personalities are a bit different, too. According to the Smithsonian, Bao Li is “playful” and “attention-seeking,” but Qing Bao is more reserved and independent.

    Bao Li has roots in D.C. He’s the son of Bao Bao, who was born at the D.C. zoo in 2013.

    A lesson in panda history

    The National Zoo became the first zoo in the U.S. to take part in what’s become known as “panda diplomacy” when a pair of pandas from China arrived at the zoo in 1972.

    In the decades since, the Chinese government has lent pandas to zoos worldwide.

    But, in recent years, China opted to not renew some of those agreements. Pandas from D.C. and San Diego were among those to fly back to China, with no plans for new bears to return in their place.

    Ultimately, China agreed to send back new pandas to California, D.C. and Spain — squashing fears about threats to panda diplomacy.

  • Giant pandas Bao Li and Qing Bao make public debut at National Zoo


    Today’s the big day! Giant pandas Bao Li and Qing Bao are making their long-awaited public debut at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute in Washington, D.C., ahead of Lunar New Year next week.

    Bao Li and Qing Bao, both 3, are emerging from quarantine and are featured in the newly relaunched giant panda cam, which consists of 40 cameras that will be operated live between the hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET.

    The superstar pandas traveled from China and arrived in the U.S. on Oct. 15, 2024. National Zoo members had the opportunity to see the pandas in a special preview held between Jan. 10 and Jan. 19, a period that gave the giant pandas time to acclimate to their new home.

    “Bao Li and Qing Bao have already won the hearts of our staff and volunteers, and we are excited to welcome panda fans back to the Zoo — the only place in the nation where you can see giant pandas for free — and celebrate the newest chapter of our giant panda breeding and conservation program,” Brandie Smith, the John and Adrienne Mars Director of the National Zoo, said in a news release.

    “They’re very active and they’re just a lot of fun and obviously super cute,” zookeeper Mariel Lally told ABC News previously about the two pandas.

    The National Zoo will host a series of public events and programs celebrating the giant pandas between Jan. 25 and Feb. 9, including a Lunar New Year event. Some Washington, D.C., hotels are even offering panda-themed packages with amenities such as stuffed toy pandas, roundtrip transportation to the zoo and panda-themed beverages.

    Panda enthusiasts can see the giant pandas for free at the National Zoo, the only zoo in the U.S. where visitors can see the animals free of charge.



    Giant pandas Bao Li and Qing Bao, the newest residents at the National Zoo, made their highly anticipated public debut today! Visitors flocked to the panda exhibit to catch a glimpse of these adorable black and white bears as they explored their new surroundings.

    Bao Li and Qing Bao, both three years old, were born in China and recently arrived at the National Zoo as part of a conservation program. The pair will play a crucial role in raising awareness about the conservation efforts being made to protect these endangered animals.

    The pandas wasted no time in charming visitors with their playful antics and adorable personalities. Bao Li, the more adventurous of the two, was seen climbing trees and playing with enrichment toys, while Qing Bao preferred to lounge in the sun and munch on bamboo.

    The National Zoo is thrilled to welcome Bao Li and Qing Bao to their panda family and is dedicated to providing them with the highest level of care and enrichment. Be sure to stop by and say hello to these lovable pandas during your next visit to the zoo!

  • ‘It’s more like the zoo.’ Williamsbridge residents say area of Monday night’s shooting has raised concerns for a while

    ‘It’s more like the zoo.’ Williamsbridge residents say area of Monday night’s shooting has raised concerns for a while


    Less than 24 hours later, the area of Williamsbridge where six people were shot Monday evening looked almost like nothing had happened.

    Some broken glass outside of 3544 White Plains Rd. was about the only sign, with Justin Lozada, who lives down the street saying “that is New York for you, and it’s sad but it is, most people will look at this be like oh man, that’s sad and we move on, let me go protect my own.”


    Shattered window at G&W Convenience store

    Most residents were concerned by exactly what happened though, with policing saying two men shot into a group, which sent some of them running into a convenience store.

    At least one intended target threw themselves behind a 40-year-old mother, who got hit, along with her 12-year-old daughter.

    Another neighbor, who asked not to be named, said something like that shows that “nobody cares, they think quick, by themselves, selfishly, before they think oh this is a child, this is a mother that has a kid.”


    Police say they are investigating whether or not the shooting was gang-related. A possibility that made the neighbor one of many who were too scared to be on camera, adding that “it’s outrageous. Kids are getting hurt, mothers are getting hurt, families are getting broken.”

    While it is a busy area, with the Gun Hill Road subway station and Gun Hill Houses right there, residents say at night, it gets taken over by drugs being used and sold.

    “It’s more like the zoo after five o’clock,” said Lozada. “After five o’clock, my wife don’t come outside.”

    NYPD numbers do show that shootings in the area were down by 25 percent in 2024, but Mondays did happen just a few blocks from where an 82-year-old was shot in the back in August, and literally right next to a memorial for another man who was shot and killed.

    Meeting the media on Tuesday, Mayor Eric Adams acknowledged that, “Those numbers mean nothing when you see a horrific incident like that.”

    Lozada calls it sad, saying “this is where I was born, this is where I was raised… This is horrible. for real, I don’t see why anybody would want to live over here.”

    Luckily, all six people who were hit are expected to be alright. Police meanwhile are still looking for the two suspects.



    “It’s more like the zoo.” Williamsbridge residents say area of Monday night’s shooting has raised concerns for a while

    The tranquility of Williamsbridge was shattered on Monday night when a shooting occurred in the neighborhood, leaving residents on edge and questioning the safety of their community. The incident took place in an area that has been a hotspot for criminal activity, prompting many to liken it to a zoo.

    Residents have expressed their concerns about the deteriorating situation in the neighborhood, with some saying that they no longer feel safe walking the streets at night. The recent shooting has only added to their fears, leading many to call for increased police presence and community involvement to address the issue.

    Local leaders have also taken note of the situation, vowing to work with law enforcement to improve safety in the area. They have urged residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to authorities.

    As the community grapples with the aftermath of Monday night’s shooting, residents are hoping for swift action to address the underlying issues that have led to this alarming spike in violence. It’s clear that more needs to be done to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone in Williamsbridge.
