The brown-and-white panda is no more

24 November, 2006 by Anni Poulsen

The world’s last brown-and-white panda died yesterday at the Qinling Safari Park zoo in Xi’an, China according to China Daily.

Qin Qin died suddenly at an age of 17 years for reasons yet to be confirmed.

The Qinling Safari Park tried in vain to find a wife for the 100 kg male earlier this year in an attempt to save the species.

Less than 1,600 giant pandas are estimated to be left living in natural habitats. But the brown-and-white panda is no more!
