A Giant Agreement

PandaEveryone's favorite black-and-white bear will be here at the San Diego Zoo for at least the next five years! Representatives of the China Wildlife Conservation Association will be at the Zoo December 18 for a special ceremony commemorating the signing of a new panda loan agreement. The historic event begins at 11 a.m. near the Zoo's Giant Panda Research Station, and you're welcome to attend!
