The world’s oldest panda in captivity has died of multiple organ failure at the age of 38 years and four months, a Chinese zoo has announced.
Panda Xin Xing, or ‘new star’, was more than 130 in human years when she passed on December 8 at the Chongqing Zoo in south-western China.
Xin Xing was hailed as the ‘hero mother’ for having 153 descendants – including 36 cubs of her own – during her long life.
