In 1972, pandas Ling-Ling and Hsing-Hsing arrived at the Smithsonian National Zoo. They were presented to First Lady Pat Nixon and were a symbolic gesture of diplomacy between China and the United States. The panda pair were celebrities. While it brought millions of visitors to the National Zoo, it also allowed for a study of pandas as an attempt repopulation and conservation of the species. Sadly none of Ling-Ling and Hsing-Hsing cubs survived. The DC Zoo now has two new pandas, Mei Xiang and Tian Tian. They have had three cubs since their arrival in 2000.
