FedEx has been tasked with transporting three pandas — Tian Tian, Mei Xiang and Xiao Qi Ji — back to China. The delivery company is transporting the bears on a FedEx Panda Express plane that will land in the Chinese city of Chengdu Thursday morning. The flight left on its 19-hour trip from the Washington, D.C., area Wednesday afternoon. Tian Tian and Mei Xiang lived at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute over two decades. Xiao Qi Ji was born there a few years ago.
The Smithsonian said its zoo staff brought over 250 pounds of food on the FedEx Panda Express for the bears. That sizable haul included bamboo, fruits, vegetables and other treats. FedEx trucks transported Tian Tian, Mei Xiang and Xiao Qi Ji to Dulles International Airport for their flight. The Smithsonian National Zoo’s panda conservation program spanned just over five decades prior to the three bears leaving Wednesday afternoon.
