Panda Diplomacy
China and the United States began a new diplomatic era. In a goodwill exchange the U.S. sent two musk oxen to China, which send two giant pandas in return. Ling-Ling and Hsing-Hsing arrived at the National Zoo on April 16, 1972. They were the first pandas in the U.S. in nearly 20 years. |
