The zoo's four pandas are set to depart this month, and return to China.

The giant panda agreement between China and Zoo Atlanta expires later this year, meaning plans for the four pandas, Lun Lun, Yang Yang, Ya Lun, and Xi Lun, to travel to China are underway.

The National Zoo's three giant pandas are set to return to China in December with no public signs the 50-year-old exchange agreement struck by President Richard Nixon will continue. The departure of the bears from the nation's capital would mean the only giant pandas left in America are at the Atlanta Zoo — and that agreement expires next year.

A giant panda at Zoo Atlanta has predicted the winner of the 2022 College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.

The pandas correctly predicted that Argentina would beat Croatia in the first semifinal match last, and they also rightly chose France over Morocco. Now, they predict Argentina will win the final.

The announcement comes five years after the International Union for Conservation of Nature officially removed giant pandas from its endangered list.

"A precious giant panda cub has arrived!" overjoyed officials announce in a tweet Friday. Mei Xiang is caring for the newborn "attentively."
