Giant Pandas Make Long-Awaited Debut At National Zoo

And back now with our play of the day, not only the commanders that have people going wild in D. C. It is pandemonium in our nation's capital. Thank you for changing it from sports, which I know nothing about Lindsay to this, which I've got. You know what's cuter or what's better than a cuddly panda? I offer you to. How's that? Just so you don't have to struggle to get there. It's season. It's panda season. Bali and she bow are set to make their public appearance at the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington D. C. Now they are adorable panda bears. They're everything you want out of a cuddly panda, and they're fresh out of quarantine. They are about to meet their public during the opening ceremonies. Take a look. New video of Bali and Ching Bao reveals to celebrity pandas ready for their close ups. This morning, the giant panda pair finally making their long awaited public debut at the National Zoo in Washington D. C. It's the only zoo in the U. S. That doesn't charge you to see the pandas. This pair has been in quarantine since arriving last fall from China. Bali emerging is kind of the more outgoing of the two. Ching Bao taking a more reserved approach to life actually had staff from across the zoo kind of make an appointment to come and visit the pandas to see them to see how they react on like pandas. They just seem to love the attention. They love the people. They're very curious. They're very interested. Wiggle your fingers if you are excited to see the at one area school. It's already pandemonium. I like, um, how, um, how they're so cute. These students from you Ying Public Charter School are performing a Mandarin language song at the opening ceremony. They'll be the first of thousands planning to visit Bali and Ching Bao today. I like that. They're so cute, too. All right. Some D. C. Hotels are even offering panda themed packages to entice you to come and take advantage of all the excitement. Now, amenities include like you can get a stuffed toy panda round trip transportation to the zoo, maybe from your hotel. There are panda themed beverages and stop right there because I know you want to know what a panda themed beverage might be like in a panda cup or look at that. It looks like bamboo with little pandas on it. I'm not saying what's in the cup. I don't know what's inside. Good luck getting a five year old outside. It's a mocktail. You can't get to D. C. Right now. Don't worry. The giant panda cam has launched 40 cameras are operating, but to us, 20 is not enough from seven a.m. To seven p.m. Eastern to highlight all that adorableness. All you have to do is go to the National Zoo website for the link and you can make your own panda themed beverage. That's what I'm gonna do this weekend. Thank you so much, Sam.
