Berlin pandas Pit and Paule land safely in China
"Pit and Paule coped well with the flight," explained Pauly. "If the bamboo is right, pandas are usually very relaxed - that was also the case on the flight." The panda twins will now remain in quarantine for 30 days. They were welcomed on site by two Berlin zookeepers who had arrived the day before.
Pit and Paule are the first giant pandas born in Germany. Despite being born in Germany, they are still owned by China because their parents, who live in Berlin Zoo, are also only on long-term loan from China. It was agreed that the panda offspring would move to China.

Upon landing in China, the freight machine carefully unloaded Pit and Paule. The twin pandas, having acclimated well to the flight, were safe and sound. Berlin Zoo's chengdu counterparts in China were eagerly waiting for their arrival, and the Berliner zookeepers joined them. Although Pit and Paule were born in Berlin Zoo, they still belonged to China due to their parents' long-term loan status.
Germany's Berlin Zoo had prepared a special pit for the pandas' quarantine, adhering to Chinese regulations to ensure a smooth transition. With 30 days of quarantine ahead, the twin pandas would soon be introduced to their new home in Chengdu, returning to the land where pandas originally originated. Despite the Berlin twist, the pandas would continue their journey under the ownership of the Chinese government.
