FedEx
says it absolutely positively delivered a pair of Chinese pandas to
France Sunday on time and without any problems. A chartered jet carried
the panda pair from China to Paris where they will be on display for
excited crowds of Frenchmen for the first time in more than 10 years.
“It was an absolute privilege and honor to fly Huan Huan and Yuan Zi,
and to be part of this significant moment to bring the pandas to their
new home in France,” FedEx pilot Paul Cassel said. “Although every
flight is unique, this flight has been particularly special – carrying
such rare animals made the journey very exciting for all of us.” Cassel
actually has experience in flying rare animals, the company said. His
past passengers have included penguins and white rhinos. Huan Huan and
Yuan Zi will begin their 10-year stay at the ZooParc de Beauval outside
Paris in quarantine. They make their public debut February 11th.
