Chinese giant pandas heading to Washington DC zoo

Now, brace yourself for plenty more 'bamboo-zling' wordplay 'panda-ing' to animal pun lovers the world over. 


That's because giant pandas will soon be returning to a major US zoo, a move that marks the latest chapter in China's history of bear-based diplomacy with the United States, despite tense political relations between the superpowers. 


The two-year-old pair -- branded as "envoys of friendship" by Chinese President Xi Jinping -- will be housed at the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington DC by the end of this year.
