Edinburgh Zoo’s future panda keepers have made their first visit to China. They were introduced to Tian Tian and Yang Guang, the pair of pandas that will move to Scotland. Alison Mc Lean and her 2 collegues received training on looking after giant pandas.
She said: “It’s a real honour. I’m extremely excited to be working so closely with these precious bears. The training is very similar to how we work with the bears currently at Edinburgh Zoo and I find it essential in caring for such animals. It enables us to work closely and safely with the bears and means we can spot any physical changes quickly.”
