The original place for pandas is in Sichuan, China, which means pandas only be found in this place before. Then some pandas were sent to other countries. In fact, except two for Mexico, other countries rent them and need to pay and being responsible for them, not having. If there has some needs or some problems happen, China has the right to get them back. (These are questions that students may have, which contains some political reasons.So teachers need to be clear about those.)
