Thousands bid farewell to Tokyo zoo pandas before return to China

Thousands of thankful, sobbing fans flock to a Tokyo zoo to bid an emotional farewell to a pair of beloved pandas before their imminent return to China.

The pandas Ri Ri and Shin Shin arrived at Ueno Zoo in 2011 and were due to stay until February 2026, but Japan and China agreed it would be better for the 19-year-olds to return to their home country in light of their declining health.
