Pandas lure visitors to Adelaide Zoo

Giant pandas Wang Wang and Funi are proving a significant drawcard for visitors to
the Adelaide Zoo.
They have attracted around 70 per cent more visitors to the zoo in the six months
since they arrived, with more than 25 per cent of those people coming from
interstate, the zoo said in a statement on Tuesday.
The zoo was celebrating the pandas' six-month anniversary by announcing a
sponsorship deal with AGL Energy that will give the pandas' home solar power that is
state-of-the-art.
The power generated by the solar system will help with climate control by cooling
rocks and powering misters in the enclosure, as well as generating electricity for
lighting, refrigeration for food, panda camera surveillance footage and powering
computers for research purposes.
