On June 8th Adelaide Zoo made a statement that since Giant Pandas Wang Wang and Funi have arrived there has been around 70% more visitors to the zoo, with 25% of them coming from out of state.

To celebrate the pandas 6th month anniversary the zoo also announced a sponsorship deal with AGL Engery that will give the pair's home state-of-the-art solar power.

The solar power will help keep the pandas cool, by cooling special rocks and misters in their enclosures. The energy provided will also be used for lighting, food refridgeration, panda cameras and running the research computers.
