LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: Also another big event to watch this morning, this one in Washington. An announcement of, shall we say, a different nature is due at any moment now. CNN's Patty Davis joins us now. She's at the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, where two giant pandas are having a coming out party this morning -- Patty.</s>PATTY DAVIS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Leon, you thought that George W. and Laura Bush were soon to be Washington's most famous couple. Well, think again. These two giant pandas are stealing the thunder from Laura and George W. today here at the Washington National Zoo. They are about to make their debut in about an hour. They'll be lured out into the outdoor playground that is behind me. They spent the morning inside, however. They were wrestling. They were woken up at about 7:00 a.m. and they were given a bamboo feast. Now, you know, pandas -- these two in particular -- have voracious appetites, according to the zookeepers here. They eat a total of about 100 pounds of bamboo a day. And zookeepers say that is an awful lot. In addition to that, we're talking carrots, apples, they also get a vitamin biscuit as a treat. Now, officials say that 2 1/2-year-old Mei Xiang -- that's the female -- and 3 1/2-year-old male Tian Tian are really active. They, as you saw in those pictures, are wrestling. We expect to see much more of that out in the playground today. Visitors get their first look at them about, oh, 10:30 or 11:00 Eastern time. Before that, though, momentarily we do expect a ceremony here from the officials, the Smithsonian officials, and the Washington National Zoo officials as well, to announce their big visitors, Daryn.</s>DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: All right, Patty Davis, thank you very much, reporting live from the Washington National Zoo.
