A Siberian tiger breeding base in northeast China's Jilin Province will welcome two giant pandas on July 1, according to local forestry authorities.

中国东北吉林省当地林业部门表示，一处东北虎繁殖基地将于7月1日迎来两只大熊猫安家。



The pair, an eight-year-old male and a seven-year-old female, will settle in a nearly-finished panda house at the base for three years for both public viewing and scientific research, Wang Wei, deputy director of the provincial forestry department, told Xinhua on Thursday.

It will be the farthest north a panda has resided for a long period in China, a region usually avoided due to its colder temperature, with the species preferring warmer habitats in southwest China's Sichuan Province, according to Wang.

The pandas hail from China Wolong Giant Panda Protection and Research Center, which is responsible for training the pandas' breeders in their new home and helping decide their diet and medical plan, said Yu Changchun with the wildlife protection bureau of the forestry department.

One or two breeders will be designated for each panda and a work team has been set up to handle emergencies.
