First images of Edinburgh's future panda enclosure
BBC News posted an image of Edinburgh Zoo’s future panda enclosure.
About £250,000 is being spent creating a perfect home for the pair. It will have pools, caves, climbing structures and even its own nursery.
Both Tian Tian & Yang Guang have successfully bred before and it is hoped they could produce further offspring.
It is expected the pandas will generate huge public interest and the new enclosure has been designed to accommodate 600 spectators per hour. the enclosure was also designed to be friendly to young cubs so they do not hurt themselves if they fall.
Each panda will have its own space because they are solitary animals in the wild and only come together to breed.
The enclosure is due to be completed in July and will have to be inspected and approved by experts from China.
