YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The pandas at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, D.C. are leaving the U.S. today and heading back to China, the zoo confirmed to multiple media outlets.

After spending 23 years in the U.S., the pandas Mei Xiang, Tian Tian, and Xiao Qi Ji will begin their long journey back to China on Wednesday, marking the end of the animals' decades-long tenure in the country.

The pandas will be moved via forklifts into FedEx trucks, CBS News reported. They will then be transported to Dulles International Airport, and moved onto the "FedEx Panda Express," a Boeing 777F aircraft with a custom decal.
