-- Staff members transfer newly arrived giant pandas at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan Province, June 28, 2025. Four Japan-born giant pandas arrived here on Saturday evening. The four pandas -- 24-year-old Rauhin and her three daughters, 8-year-old Yuihin, 6-year-old Saihin and 4-year-old Fuhin -- were sent to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding for quarantine.
