Us China Panda Diplomacy

Beijing will return giant pandas to Washington's National Zoo by the end of the year, US First Lady Jill Biden and officials said Wednesday in a surprise announcement signaling a new era of panda diplomacy between the two superpowers.

The US-born giant panda Bei Bei has arrived in southwestern China after a 16-hour flight, with plenty of bamboo for him to munch on as he settled into his new home.

Mini Yuan Zi, a fluffy baby panda born this summer at Beauval zoo in France, just took his first steps. And luckily for all of us, it was all captured on camera. If you're looking to load up on some Monday motivation, watching the determined little guy put one paw in front of the other and take his first steps might just help.
