In 1972, giant pandas Ling-Ling and Hsing-Hsing arrived at the National Zoo as a gift from the Peoples Republic of China, beginning the Zoos legacy of care and conservation for these endangered creatures. Since then, Mei Xiang, Tian Tian, and their cubs Tai Shan (born in 2005 and now living in China) and Bao Bao (born in 2013) have delighted and educated millions of people from around the world. This official guide celebrates one of the worlds best-known-and rarest- animals. With more than 100 engaging images, behind the scenes information, keeper quotes, and fascinating facts, it highlights each of the pandas that have lived at the National Zoo and the Zoos continuing work to save the species.
