Adelaide To Welcome Giant Pandas
Adelaide to welcome giant pandas by Cheap Flights Booker UK
The South Australia tourist board has revealed that two giant pandas will be brought to Adelaide Zoo at the end of the year.
A panda enclosure is currently being built by the Royal Zoological Society of South Australia to ensure that all of the necessary facilities are in place to care for the pandas Wang Wang and Funi.
The ten-year period for which the animals will live at Adelaide Zoo represents the first time that pandas have been lent to an Australian zoo for a significant stretch of time.
Adelaide Zoo is seeking to establish itself as a major conservation centre by building the A$33m (£15.5m) panda enclosure and taking part in an international breeding programme to protect endangered species.
Earlier this year, Adelaide Zoo welcomed back a number of Madagascan lemurs that had spent three years at Monarto Zoo, a conservation park also located in South Australia.
Holidaymakers in Adelaide who pay a visit to the city"s zoo can see some 300 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish, which are accommodated in botanic surroundings covering around eight hectares.
