Arab Weather - On Thursday, visitors to the Edinburgh Zoo will have the last opportunity to enjoy happy moments with the famous pair of giant pandas, Yang Guang and Tian Tian , before their departure to their home in China after more than a decade in Scotland, and a sad farewell will be given to these two wonderful guests at the beginning of December.
The pair of pandas have added a special charm to the zoo since their arrival in 2011, with visitors lining the roads to see them, and after 12 years in Scotland, we will have a touching farewell to these two wonderful guests, who form an integral part of the zoo experience. Their departure comes after the end of the exchange agreements, making them the last pandas to leave the West under these agreements.
The National Zoo in Atlanta, the only one in the United States to host pandas, expires next year, and panda lovers consider this period their last chance to see these magnificent creatures in a place where visiting has become part of their daily routine.
Earlier in November, the National Zoo in Washington sent three pandas, Mei Xiang and Tian Tian and their cub Xiao Zhijie , to China, while the remaining pandas returned to the Memphis Zoo in Tennessee earlier this year.
Observers believe that the Chinese government is gradually withdrawing pandas from American and European zoos as a result of tensions with Western governments, but Chinese President Xi Jinping's statement strengthens hope that pandas will continue to be provided to these parks.
