Two Chinese pandas, Ping Ping and Fu Shuang, are new additions to Zoo Atlanta. This zoo is one of only three locations in the U.S. with giant pandas. The pandas traveled 8,000 miles, arriving aboard a plane dubbed “Fedex Panda Express.” Their arrival happens to coincide with a U.S. and China trade deal that would cut tariffs on 60 billion dollars worth of imports from both countries.
