Netherlands just welcomed two giant panda cubs from China. Xing Ya, who is a male panda and Wu Wen, who is a female arrived at the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol today. The 3-year-olds from China would now be preparing for a new life in Netherlands.
After arriving at the airport, the panda cubs were placed on display outside the airport. They would now be going to a zoo in Rhenen, central Holland. As a part of the nature conservation project, the pair would stay in Ouwehands Zoo for 15 years. There is a giant Chinese themed enclosure in the zoo that would be a home for the cubs. It contains indoor and outdoor areas, along with a refrigerator to stock up bamboos.
The national mascot of China, nearly 1,864 pandas have been loaned to its friendly countries. China takes as much as $1 million every year for the each panda, who is loaned by a country for 10-15 years. The pandas are a huge crowd puller for the zoos. And as hosting partners of Xing Ya and Wu Wen, Netherlands has definitely given the panda cubs a warm welcome!
