FedEx announced it had completed a pair of flights between the United States and China, transporting six giant pandas on the "FedEx Panda Express."

Male Bao Li and female Qing Bao, both 3 years old, will fill the large void left at the National Zoo’s now-renovated panda exhibit when their predecessors – a couple that had been there for 24 years and their cub – were sent to China in November at the expiration of their lease.
