Footage released by Zoo Atlanta on September 30, 2026, shows one of the zoo's giant pandas settling into its new surroundings after the zoo welcomed two pandas from China, male Ping Ping and female Fu Shuang. The pair arrived at Zoo Atlanta on September 27, 2026, and the zoo says they are already exceeding the team's expectations and adjusting well to their new environment. The black-and-white mammals are immensely popular around the world, and China loans them out as part of a "panda diplomacy" program to foster foreign ties.
