| A staff member feeds one of the eight Olympic Pandas before they leave the Beijing Zoo, on March 22, 2009. The pandas were flown to Beijing on May 24 last year from their damaged habitat at the Wolong Nature Reserve near the epicenter of May 12 Wenchuan earthquake. Their visit to Beijing, which was planned before the quake, added cheer to the Olympics in August. They will head for their new home at the Ya'an-based Bifengxia Base of the Giant Panda Protection and Research Center, said Li Desheng, vice head of the Center. (Xinhua) |
