Two giant pandas that attracted large crowds to the Los Angeles and San Francisco zoos will return home to China next week, San Francisco Zoo officials said. Yun Yun and Ying Xin, roly-poly 3-year-olds, will take a special flight home after attracting 270,000 visitors to the San Francisco Zoo during their stay there in November and December. Los Angeles Zoo officials said attendance was up by about 420,000 during last August, September and October while the pandas were in residence.
