Two pandas had an icy treat as the National Zoo celebrated 50 years of its panda exchange with China. It took Mei Xiang and her cub Xiao Qi Ji about 15 minutes to devour a “cake” made from frozen fruit juice, sweet potatoes, carrots and sugar cane.
under tight restrictions shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic shut the entire zoo. At age 22, Mei Xiang was the oldest giant panda to successfully give birth in the United States.
“I know how passionate people are about pandas,” Amaral said. “I’m not surprised by that passion at all.” They watched the cub tumble around, try to wrestle his mom and tear the zero off the giant 50 emblazoned on the ice cake.“They knew this was coming,” said their mother Kayleigh Greenwell of Mount Ranier, Maryland, said of her girls. “We’ve been talking about it all week.”
