Tigers and giraffes to come to PNG

Papua New Guinea's national emblem, the Bird of Paradise, is settling into a Chinese zoo in an exchange that will see giraffes and tigers housed at Adventure Park in Port Moresby's 14-Mile.

Under a PNG-China conservation and preservation program, 10 of the rare birds, along with four pairs of endangered tree kangaroos, have arrived at one of the world's largest zoos in China.

In return, PNG is receiving giraffes, tigers, zebras - all African animals - along with their handlers.

And no, a panda is not to make its way to 14-Mile due to the heat.
