The National Zoo in Washington, DC, Zoo Atlanta, and the Memphis Zoo have six pandas on loan from China between them.
Escalating trade tensions between the US and China call to question whether the giant pandas on loan to American zoos may be recalled to their home country.
Will the panda leases be renewed?That's the case for the US's lone adolescent panda, Bei Bei, who lives at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. Bei Bei turned four last week and is expected to depart for China to enter a breeding program in the next few months, according to"Today." The National Zoo is one of just three American zoos that have giant pandas. The other two are Zoo Atlanta and the Memphis Zoo.
Hayley Murphy, deputy director of the Zoo Atlanta, would not release details on their current contract with China, but said"no changes" had been made to it.
