WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Zoo’s three celebrity giant pandas will be heading home a little earlier than expected. Zoo officials told The Associated Press on Thursday that adult bears Mei Xiang and Tian Tian and their cub Xiao Qi Ji will be returning to China sometime in mid-November.The zoo’s exchange agreement with the Chinese government, originally brokered by President Richard Nixon 50 years ago, expires Dec. 7.

But the zoo, for undisclosed reasons, said the departure would happen about three weeks earlier. “Discussions with our Chinese partner, the China Wildlife Conservation Association, to develop a future gia...
