The move, which should be ready by the summer, will have to wait.

According to Natalie Magnusson, animal manager at Furuviksparken, all documentation is stuck in customs in England and the case will take at least six months.

- We're so sorry.

We had hoped so much to be able to show them this summer, but Brexit stopped them, she says.

Swaps without payments

The park in southern Gästrikland has not bought the pandas.

Zoos can stand in line for the animals you are interested in and in that way exchange animals between each other but pay no money.

It is a process that can take up to 15 years - but in Furuvik everything is packed and ready.

- They like to climb trees and we have built a special department for the pandas here.

Now that department must be empty until the pandas arrive, says Natalie Magnusson.

Endangered panda

The red panda is an endangered species, which means that the park hopes to be able to help strengthen the population in the future.

- Aiya and Esha are two girls.

We are also working on getting a guy here so we can get little panda cubs, says Natalie Magnusson.
