Does the San Diego Zoo / United States get to keep the pandas that were born here?
The San Diego Zoo has a contract with China expiring in 2008, and 4 panda cubs have been born there. San Diego pays China 1 million a year to keep the 2 giant pandas in captivity. After the contract is up, do we keep the pandas born here to reproduce and make more pandas!?

No. Once the babies reach a certain age, they are returned to China for breeding purposes. Once the lease is up, unless renewed, all the pandas will be returned to China or sent to the new zoo that picks up the lease. There is a huge waiting list.

Poor Batty Bat. Our President was born in an American State. Hawaii is a State. But the soil is not connected to the American Continent. I am not sure what year that Hawaii became a State. I would have to look that up. Just think John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone. He was NOT born on American Soil and he is still thinking about trying again to become the President. How can he be President ??? Sure his Father was stationed in Panama, but he was still born on Foreign Soil.
