The Toronto Zoo has announced that five year old Er Shun (female) and four year old Da Mao (male) will be arriving at the zoo on the 25th of March 2013.

The zoo hopes that the giant pandas and the new Eurasia pavilion will be ready to go on show by the May long weekend.

The pandas will spend five years at Totonto Zoo before being moved to the zoo in Calgary. Unless Er Shun becomes pregant before the move, in that case the pair could stay longer in Totonto.
