China has recalled two cute giant pandas from a popular zoo in the US amid the countries' ongoing trade war.
Bai Yun, 26, and her six-year-old cub Xiao Liwu are iconic images of San Diego Zoo in California.
Bai Yun has spent more than 20 years at the attraction after arriving as a tiny cub. She has aided important worldwide research in the protection, breeding, disease control of giant pandas.
But both majestic animals have been sent back to their native China after the country scrapped its conservation loan agreement with the US.
"They will be under quarantine for a month to help them adapt to the conditions in China," said Zou Wenyong, a spokesman for Dujiangyan Base of the China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Pandas.
