Video: Giant Pandas relax in new Ouwehands Zoo habitat

Two Giant Pandas that recently arrived in the Netherlands are doing well and enjoying their new home at the Ouwehands Zoo, the zoo said on Friday. A new video released by the Rhenen, Utrecht zoo shows Xing Ya relaxing on his back and enjoying a bamboo snack in his new habitat.

His panda partner, Wu Wen, did not make an appearance. The bamboo was grown in the Netherlands, and is part of the 30 kilos of bamboo the two will eat every day.

It is not yet known when Xing Ya and Wu Wen will be shown to the public. "Currently, they are still in quarantine getting used to their new environment," the zoo said.

The 3.5-year-old Giant Pandas arrived in the Netherlands with much fanfare earlier in April. They will remain in Rhenen for the next 15 years.
