The oldest male giant panda in captivity died at age 35 at a Hong Kong theme park after his health deteriorated.
Ocean Park mourned An An as a family member who grew with the park and built bonds with locals and tourists.
An An had high blood pressure, a common condition among geriatric pandas. Over the past three weeks, An An had been kept out of sight from visitors at the park as his health worsened. He stopped eating solid food and was significantly less active in recent days. He was euthanized to prevent further suffering Thursday morning after veterinarians from Ocean Park and government authorities consulted the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, Ocean Park said.
