Breaking news, giant panda fans.

Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS) just announced it?s getting two of the adorable black-and-white bears from China, an acquisition that's expected to heavily boost visitor numbers. (Fact: in the zoo game, there's no bigger cash cow than a panda.)  

Named Kai Kai (male) and Jia Jia (female), the giant pandas will arrive from China's Ya?an Bifengxia Panda Base on September 6. They?ll be housed at the Yangtze River zone of the upcoming River Safari, along with other endangered wildlife from China such as the giant salamander and the red panda. 

However the logistics required to safely fly a pair of pandas through the region are a bit complicated.

Even when wearing his angry face, Kai Kai is adorable. Wildlife Reserves officials said the pandas will be transported on board a Singapore Airlines Cargo Boeing 747 freighter.
