This undated photo provided by San Diego Zoo Global shows giant pandas Bai Yun, a 27-year-old female, and her son, 6-year-old Xiao Liwu, at the San Diego Zoo in San Diego. In honoring the terms of the Zoo's conservation loan agreement with the People's Republic of China, the pandas will leave the San Diego Zoo in April and will be repatriated to their ancestral homeland. "The San Diego Zoo was honored to be chosen by conservationists in China to work with them to develop a new model for species conservation," said Douglas G. Myers, president/CEO, San Diego Zoo Global. "The panda program we began together demonstrates how powerful these collaborative efforts can be. We are extremely grateful to China for sharing the pandas with us and offering us the chance to serve this species in a leadership role." (San Diego Zoo Global via AP)
