Ling-Ling (1969-92) and Hsing-Hsing (1970-99) were two Giant Pandas given to the United States as gifts by the government of China following President Richard Nixon’s visit in 1972. In return, the U.S. government sent China a pair of musk oxen. They arrived at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., on April 16, 1972, at a ceremony attended by First Lady Pat Nixon. While at the zoo, they attracted millions of visitors each year. While at the zoo, the pair had five cubs, but none of them survived past a few days. Ling-Ling died in 1992, at which time she was the longest-lived giant panda in captivity outside China. via Wikipedia
