On August 5, local time, the Calgary Zoo in Canada stated that due to international travel restrictions, the two giant pandas that had been planned to be sent back to China in advance are still stranded in Calgary and are facing the challenge of “no food”.
Affected by the new crown epidemic, the Calgary Zoo announced on May 12 that the fresh bamboo supply chain has encountered challenges. The giant pandas "Da Mao" and "Ershun" leased to Canada by China will bid farewell to the Canadians and return to China in advance. However, almost 3 months later, they have not yet made a trip. The zoo stated that it has not yet obtained a cross-border transportation permit for the two pandas.
At present, the fresh bamboo for the two pandas is purchased by the zoo from British Columbia on the west coast of Canada, but the zoo said that this supply is expected to last until September.
The Chengdu male giant panda "Da Mao" and the Chongqing female giant panda "Er Shun" went to Canada in March 2013, and originally planned to live there for 10 years. (Editor Li Jiali)
