It’s difficult to know where to begin describing Zoo Atlanta, which houses more than 1,000 animals, representing more than 200 species from around the world. But the giant panda exhibit is as good a place as any, especially since panda twins Xi Lun and Ya Lun–the only twin pandas in the United States–were born at Zoo Atlanta Sept. 3, 2016. And with the opening of the award-winning Scaly Slimy Spectacular: The Amphibian and Reptile Experience, close encounters of the slithering kind are just a few steps away.
