Hong Kong: The oldest-ever male giant panda in captivity died at age 35 at a Hong Kong theme park after its health deteriorated.
The giant panda had high blood pressure which is a common condition among old pandas.
Over the past few weeks, the panda was kept out of sight from visitors at the park as his health worsened.
The panda stopped eating solid food and was significantly less active in recent days.
A panda living 35 years equals approximately 105 years in human age, the statement read, the Associated Press reported.
