World's oldest panda in captivity dies
www.chinanews.cn 2005-07-14 09:09:09
The world's oldest panda held in captivity has died Tuesday at the Guilin
City Zoo in the Guangxi region, at the age of 36, or the equivalent of
108 human years. Because of her old age, Meimei had recently suffered
from eating difficulties and the gradual failure of various organs. Giant
pandas are generally found in temperate forests in central China. Among
the best recognized �� but rarest �� animals in the world, as few as
1,600 giant pandas survive in the mountain forests of central China.
Another 120 are in Chinese breeding facilities and zoos.
