The pandas arrived in Washington, D.C., from China on Oct. 15.
After landing at Dulles International Airport in Virginia after a 19-hour journey from Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan province, the pandas were transferred to crates and loaded onto FedEx trucks to go to the National Zoo.

The new video of the pandas on Instagram marks one of the first few looks at them at the National Zoo, which has not yet turned on its wildly popular \"Giant Panda Cam\" that has given the public a behind-the-scenes look at pandas in the past.
Bao Li and Qing Bao will be quarantined in the panda habitat for a minimum of 30 days.
The exhibit is closed to the public until the two giant pandas make their public debut on Jan. 24, 2025.
Born one month apart in 2021, Bao Li and Qing Bao have been described by prior caregivers as lively 3-year-olds who enjoy climbing.

The pandas' arrival was first teased to the public in May, when the National Zoo released a statement, saying, \"Giant pandas are returning to Washington D.C.! As part of our 52-year-old conservation partnership with the China Wildlife Conservation Association, we're getting ready to welcome two new bears -- Bao Li and Qing Bao -- by the end of 2024.\"
The announcement was accompanied by a video on YouTube featuring first lady Jill Biden.
