San Diego Zoo launches up-close 'Panda Camera' for public to view iconic bears

The camera lets viewers around the world get a close-up look at the adorable pair of black and white bears.

SAN DIEGO — It doesn't matter where in the world you are, you can get an up-close look at this adorable pair of pandas!

The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance recently launched its "Panda Camera," a 24/7 livestream from inside Xin Bao and Yun Chuan bamboo-filled habitat.

"Viewers can enter their world and marvel as the pandas tumble, climb, explore, nap, and munch on bamboo across their dynamic habitats," the zoo said in a press release. "Xin Bao and Yun Chuan have acclimated beautifully to their expansive, bamboo-filled homes and now their playful antics and natural behaviors can be observed from anywhere, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of these charismatic giants."

Yun Chuan and Xin Bao arrived in the United States from China on June 27 and have since been settling in at the zoo. They're the first pandas to enter the country in over 20 years!

If you want to get a close-up view of these bears, you can access the giant panda cam at www.sandiegozoo.org/pandacam. If you're in California, you can visit them in person at the zoo's Panda Ridge habitat.
