After a quarter-century hosting giant pandas, Zoo Atlanta is saying goodbye to its beloved residents. The zoo announced its four Giant Pandas: Lun Lun, Yang Yang, Ya Lun and Xi Lun will make their way home on (date TBD).

The exhibit isn't exactly what the visitors were expecting, but even so, they appear to take it in stride and laugh it off.

The zoo announced that pandas Lun Lun, Yang Yang, Ya Lun, and Xi Lun will travel to China in mid-October 2024 as Zoo Atlanta’s agreement with China expires. Currently, the four pandas are some of the only members of their species in the United States - the others being Yun Chuan and Xin Bao at the San Diego Zoo.
