thar she goes!
\nAmid sad protests from children around America\u2019s capital city region, a giant panda that had been on loan from China for three years at the Smithsonian Institution\u2019s National Zoo in Washington, D.C., boarded a FedEx freighter flight to China earlier this week, leaving the U.S. to join a breeding program. The 777F left Dulles International Airport Tuesday, for Chengdu, China, embarking on a nonstop, 16-hour flight.
\nIf you think airline food is gross, Bao Bao was treated to 17 pounds (8 kilograms) of bamboo and \u201cleafeater biscuits\u201d before being loaded into a customized travel crate. Once airborne, the panda was treated to 50 pounds of bamboo, 2 pounds of apples, 2 bags of leafeater biscuits, cooked sweet potatoes and water.
\nFurther deviating from the anonymity and banality of air travel, Bao Bao\u2019s truck, the 777F, and even forklift, were decked out in special panda-themed livery to commemorate the event.<\/p>\n
