Animal lovers have two weeks left to see the UK’s only giant pandas as the pair prepare to leave Edinburgh Zoo to return to China.From Thursday November 30, the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) will restrict access to Yang Guang and Tian Tian – the two giant pandas housed at the zoo.The pair’s enclosure will be closed off as zoo officials prepare to ship them back to China in early December.Yang Guang and Tian Tian arrived in Scotland in December 2011 as part of a 10-year agreement between RZSS and the China Wildlife Conservation Association, which was later extended by two years.Giant pandas generally live between 15 and 20 years.
