Giant Panda on exhibit 1988

In 1986 the Chinese Government offered Australia a temporary loan of two Giant Panda's for their 1988 bi-centenary... These Panda's spent three months in Melbourne Zoo and three at Taronga Zoo before coming to Auckland in October 1988 for a final three month stay... A new enclosure was built for the pair, Fei Fei and Xiao Xiao... The pair attracted over 300,000 in their 3 month stay... This exhibit now houses a Orangutan group... This photo was sourced from the book: A Tiger by the Tail by Derek Wood...
