Farewell Wang Wang and Fu Ni at Adelaide Zoo | Oct 2024

Special celebrations to farewell Wang Wang and Fu Ni at Adelaide Zoo.

It’s time to say farewell to Giant Pandas Wang Wang and Fu Ni.

Adelaide Zoo is calling on all panda-loving South Australians to visit the zoo and wish the black-and-white duo a fond farewell before they head home to China.

Director of Adelaide Zoo, Dr Phil Ainsley, said the pair will head into a short quarantine period in mid-October before returning home, and encouraged everyone to come along to share their giant well wishes.

The Hon Minister for Tourism Zoe Bettison said:

“For the past decade and a half, Adelaide Zoo’s star pandas Wang Wang and Fu Ni have delighted intrastate, interstate and international visitors while helping conservationists learn more about this vulnerable species.

“As their 15-year stay in South Australia is coming to an end, we would like to thank the Adelaide Zoo for providing a wonderful home for the black-and-white duo and we would also like to give our panda-loving South Australian’s families the opportunity to express their love and gratitude towards the beloved giant pandas and farewell them in the weeks to come.

Panda Post Boxes will be set up in the Panda Shop and in Bamboo Forest from Friday 20 September 2024.

For those from far away or who can’t attend the zoo in person, written messages and videos for Wang Wang and Fu Ni can be submitted online via the Adelaide Zoo website or by emailing marketing@zoossa.com.au.

Adelaide Zoo will welcome new Giant Pandas, Xing Qiu (pronounced shing chee-y-ull) and Yi Lan (ee-lun) to Bamboo Forest later this year.
