After more than a decade in the spotlight at Beauval Zoo, the famous giant panda couple Huan Huan and Yuan Zi are preparing to leave France. Their return to China is scheduled for the end of November, a decision reached in agreement with Beijing authorities. The decision was based on the health of the female, who suffers from chronic kidney failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rodolphe Delord, director of the Loir-et-Cher Zoo, noted that despite the diagnosis, the animal maintains a normal appetite and behavior. However, caution prevailed: the French team deemed it safer to entrust her to the specialized care of the Chengdu Conservation Center, the global epicenter of giant panda research and reproduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
