We liked seeing the panda in Singapore, but this would probably be excessive to step in here:
Finland to return pandas to China early due to cost
A zoo in Finland will return two giant pandas to China eight years early, saying it can no longer afford to look after them.
Lumi and Pyry were brought to Finland in 2018, after the two countries signed an agreement to protect the animals.
They were meant to stay in the Nordic country for 15 years, but will be sent home in November – with Ähtäri Zoo blaming inflation and debt linked to the Covid pandemic for the pandas' eviction.
It also said the zoo spent €1.5m (£1.2m) a year on the pandas' upkeep, as well as more than €8m on their enclosure.
