Giant Panda Cam (Coming Soon)

Right now, the Zoo's giant pandas are acclimating to their new habitat area at the Smithsonian's National Zoo. The Giant Panda Cam will launch in January 2025 when the bears make their public debut.

In the meantime, watch a behind-the-scenes video of giant pandas Bao Li and Qing Bao playing with puzzle feeders—enrichment toys that are built to withstand the bears’ teeth, claws and pounces. Or catch the latest episode of Prepping for Pandas, a short video series highlighting special moments from the pandas’ arrival to their debut.
