Bei Bei, one of three giant pandas at the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, is scheduled to leave the nation's capital on Tuesday, Nov. 19 to live in China, zoo officials said Friday.
A fan-favorite at the zoo, visitors have watched Bei Bei in person and via"panda cam" grow from a small cub to a 240-pound bear since his birth on Aug. 22, 2015. To celebrate Bei Bei's first four years of life in the district, the zoo is hosting a farewell celebration dubbed"Bye Bye, Bei Bei" from Nov. 11 to Nov. 18.
Once Bei Bei arrives in Chengdu, his new keepers will accompany him to his new habitat at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. Keepers from the National Zoo have also said they will stay with him until he settles in. Bei Bei will join the giant panda breeding program in China when he reaches sexual maturity, likely between the ages of 5 and 7.
