Moscow Zoo meets new inhabitants. A flight with giant bears from China flew into the capital. The chairman of the PRC and the president of the Russian Federation agreed on this on the sidelines of the international forum “One Belt, One Way”. Xi Jinping speaks of transferring pandas to the Moscow zoo as a diplomatic move. The appearance of bears in Moscow is dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Russia and China.

Giant pandas - Zhui and Dindin - flew along with the veterinarian and the caretaker. The latter should monitor the calm of animals. Among the stress management techniques, hugs are used. It has been scientifically proven that it is easier for pandas to cope with anxiety when they are hugged.
I must say that last year one of the employees of the Moscow Zoo was trained in China. During the course, he learned not only about caring for these animals, but also many other useful things. In China, he learned to hug pandas, which, incidentally, is far from safe. Bears have strong paws and very powerful jaws.

On the road, the animals had everything they needed: rolls, baby food, bamboo shoots. For the flight, the Boeing 777F was used. It was leased from FedEx. This company has a special unit for transporting pandas - Panda Express.
Check in to a new place
The male Zhui is very sociable, but his girlfriend Dindin is rather closed. After landing, giant pandas were taken to the aviary, specially prepared for them by employees of the Moscow Zoo.
Russia has taken animals for rent for 15 years. Throughout this time, pandas will be studied by domestic experts. Zoo employees will observe the acclimatization, behavior, reproduction of animals.
Pandas flew from the giant panda research and breeding center in Chengdu, Sichuan. This center has existed since 1987. It was created to save giant pandas from extinction.
Issue price
I must say that the negotiations on the rental of pandas were conducted for about two years. This year, a bilateral agreement was finally signed. This treaty was mentioned in his speech at the international forum "One Belt, One Way" by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Renting a panda costs $ 1 million a year. This money should be transferred to the account of the Wildlife Protection Association in China. The offspring that will be born from rented giant pandas belong to China. This is a prerequisite of the agreement. For each cub Russia will also have to pay $ 1 million per year.
