Journey Into Panda Ridge: Panda Camera Launches at the San Diego Zoo

Panda Fans Can Tune in to Watch the Charismatic Pair, Bringing the Wonder of These Beloved Animals Anywhere

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the San Diego Zoo is excited to launch its giant panda live camera, enabling people around the globe to virtually connect with Xin Bao and Yun Chuan. Viewers can enter their world and marvel as the pandas tumble, climb, explore, nap, and munch on bamboo across their dynamic habitats.

Xin Bao and Yun Chuan have acclimated beautifully to their expansive, bamboo-filled homes and now their playful antics and natural behaviors can be observed from anywhere, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of these charismatic giants. Plus, with the giant panda cam available 24/7, viewers can enjoy a front-row seat to Xin Bao and Yun Chuan's daily adventures at any time.

Xin Bao, a four-year-old female panda born at Wolong Shenshuping Panda Base, is easily recognized by her large, round face and big ears. She is very active and alert and is an excellent climber. Yun Chuan, a five-year-old male, is the grandson of Bai Yun and Gao Gao, two giant pandas that thrived at the San Diego Zoo for decades. His mother Zhen Zhen was born at the Zoo in 2007. He's identifiable by his long, slightly pointed nose.

Viewers can head to www.sandiegozoo.org/pandacam to access the giant panda cam, now live. Guests planning a trip to visit the duo in person at Panda Ridge can find out more information on how to see them at www.sdzwa.org/giantpandas.
