3.On March 25,2013,two pandas were shipped from China to Canada.The pandas received a warm welcome to the North America from Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Chinese ambassador(大使)Zhang Junsai.
The pandas will spend five years at the Toronto Zoo,and then spend another five years at the Calgary Zoo.This is the first time in 20years that pandas have been sent to a Canadian zoo."I want to offer my sincere thanks to the government of China for sharing these two pandas,symbolizing peace and friendship,with all Canadians,"said Prime Minister Harper.
The pandas are named Er Shun and Da Mao.Er Shun,a five-year-old female,came from the Chongqing Zoo,in southwest China.Da Mao,a four-year-old male,traveled from Chengdu.The panda passengers were given plenty of snacks throughout the flight.Each panda received more than 200pounds of bamboo and 100pounds of apples.
The number of pandas is decreasing and now there are only 1,600pandas left in the wild.And this is partly due to the loss of their primary food source,bamboo.According to a recent study,warming temperatures are causing a shortage of bamboo in at least one region of China where pandas live.
The climate in Er Shun and Da Mao's new home in Canada isn't perfect for growing bamboo.Twice a week,the Memphis Zoo,in Tennessee,will ship about 700pounds of the green plant up north to the Toronto Zoo.While the pandas are far from China,zookeepers plan to make Canada feel like their home.
