Thailand's pandas to get new winter home

2009-Jun-10

Chiang Mai Zoo has built a new winter home for their pandas "Chuang Chuang" , "Lin Hui" and her newly born cub. The new home is a snow dome where the temperature inside will be a cool minus 5 degrees Celcius.

The pandas are not due to move in till the winter, but visitors should be able to visit from some time this month.

Visitors will enter along a wall built to look like the great wall of china, and inside will be a Chinese-style house.

The only thing left to finish on the new enclosure is the fake snow.
