TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) \u2014 A zoo in Taiwan\u2019s capital received a pair of endangered red pandas from China on Saturday, in the first exchange of animals in more than a decade as tensions between the two sides run high.<\/p>\n

The pandas, a 3-year-old male and a 2-year-old female, will be in quarantine for a month and then acclimated to their new home in the Taipei Zoo before they are unveiled to the public.<\/p>\n

The two pandas have yet to be named. While the male panda immediately began to explore his new home and ate, the female remained cautious and preferred to observe, the Taipei Zoo said.<\/p>\n

Taipei last received red pandas from a zoo in China\u2019s Fujian province in 2014, according to the Taipei Times. The animals are endemic to China, as well as Nepal, Laos and Myanmar, among others.<\/p>\n

While tensions between China and Taiwan, the self-ruled island that Beijing claims as part of its territory, remain high and official contacts between the two governments are cut off, city-level exchanges have continued.<\/p>\n
