I am very sad to report another panda death this year. That of Tang Tang Tang Tang Number 21 446 1987-- 2010-Aug-22 Female Xiamen PINGWU also known as number 21.
Tang Tang Tang Tang Number 21 446 1987-- 2010-Aug-22 Female Xiamen PINGWU was a wild caught panda thought to be around 23 years of age. She was the mother of 7 surviving pandas including Long Hui the male panda at Vienna, the grand mother of Fu Long and Lin Bing of Chiangmai Zoo's. She also recently became a great grand mother though Ge Ge at BFX, who I used to watch everyday.
The cause of her death is not known at the moment, but according to the news report her body has been shipped back to Sichuan.
It seems that the zoo, was keeping the news quiet and only through a lot of questions from reporters did the news leak out.
Goodbye Tang Tang Tang Tang Number 21 446 1987-- 2010-Aug-22 Female Xiamen PINGWU , may you cubbies - cubbies - cubbies live long and have many children.
