Da Mao and Er Shun are two giant pandas that have made the Calgary Zoo in Canada their home since 2018. They were expected to live there until 2023. However, they will head back to China earlier than expected.
The zoo announced the news on May 12, saying the decision was made due to COVID-19 travel restrictions（限制）. The restrictions have made it more challenging for the zoo to get bamboo for the pandas to eat, Global News reported.
According to the zoo, 99 percent of a giant panda’s diet is made up of fresh bamboo. Each adult giant panda eats around 40 kg of bamboo a day.
“We believe the best and safest place for Er Shun and Da Mao to be during these challenging times is where bamboo is easy to get,” said Dr Clement.
