The oldest-ever male giant panda in captivity has died at age 35 at a Hong Kong theme park after his health worsened.
An An lived most of his life at Ocean Park after he and a female panda were gifted to Hong Kong by China in 1999.An An had high blood pressure, a common condition among geriatric pandas. He stopped eating solid food and was significantly less active in recent days.Last week, hundreds left comments on an Ocean Park post about AnAn's condition, wishing him a speedy recovery.
Ocean Park mourned AnAn as a family member who grew with the park and built bonds with locals and tourists.
