Pandas to stay at San Diego

2008-Dec-13

Good news for us pandas lover it appears that San Diego have managed to negotiate a better deal to keep their adorable pandas. The loan had been extended for another 5 years and will cost half the original price for a pair of adult pandas. The price to keep a keep a cub is still being negotiated.

This opens the doors for other zoos in the USA to renew their contracts at a lower price.

It used to cost $1 Million a year to keep a pair of adult pandas, this has now dropped to $500,000.

Hopefully I will be able to see them in San Diego Zoo.
