THE 10 "Expo pandas" on a one-year loan from Sichuan Province to thrill World Expo visitors, will move to Shanghai Wildlife Park on Monday after passing their last physical check in good health at Shanghai Zoo yesterday.
The pandas will start moving to the park on Monday night. Because of the possibility of hot weather, the zoo will prepare enclosed, air-conditioned vehicles for them. Temperatures in the vehicles will be kept around 20 degrees Celsius.
The wildlife park has prepared a panda home and bamboo plant center for the newcomers. The pandas will spend the next six months there and two keepers from Sichuan Province will be with them.
All 10 pandas came from Sichuan`s Wolong Giant Panda Research Center. They were young pandas born after the massive Sichuan earthquake in 2008.
