At the age of 23, the giant panda "succeeded" and died suddenly
Explanation on the success of giant pandas
On the morning of September 3, 2023, a female elderly giant panda at the Chengdu Panda Breeding Research Base successfully passed away in its enclosure at the age of 23, which is equivalent to the age of 70-80 for humans.
Recently, "Success" has been eating bamboo shoots and steamed buns normally, with normal fecal volume and weight, shiny fur, and overall good condition. On the evening of September 2nd, the night shift keeper observed that his health was in good condition. When "Success" was found dead, he was lying on the left side with a relaxed posture, surrounded by a large amount of bamboo shoots and shells left from last night's feeding. There were no abnormalities found in the animal house.
On the afternoon of September 3rd, the Panda Base has collaborated with pathology experts from top tier hospitals and animal pathology experts in the province to conduct pathological analysis and comprehensive evaluation.
We are deeply saddened by the sudden departure of success. Thank you all for your concern and support for the conservation of giant pandas.
May success rest in peace.
