The Newly Born Panda Cub of Ai Bang’s Son Died Suddenly

updated on May 10, 2016

Sad, sad, sad, so so so sad! This is the darkest day ever!

Latest news from Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding said that the newly born panda cub of Ai Bang’s son died suddenly only 4 day after his birthday. It was at around 5 o’clock AM, 10th, May, the panda cub suddenly screamed and then fell down from the body of his mother Ai Bang. Panda infant keeper and doctor immediately got there, but found the cub had already died. There was nothing can be done because it happened so abruptly. The subsequent autopsy results proved there wasn’t any abnormal symptom to the viscera and other organs.

This accident is much like the case of human infant’s sudden death(SIDS) on the clinical manifestation of which the pathogenesis still remains as mystery. So far, several experienced panda keepers have been arranged to pacify the sad panda mom - Ai Bang.

Ai Bang was born in 2006 in Japan, and moved to Chengdu Panda Base on December 14, 2012. In August of 2014, her showed sign of giving birth, but after 48 hours waiting, it turned out to be a fake pregnancy which is a common case for many female pandas.

Thousands of fans of Giant Panda still are not able to face the sudden “farewell” including me. But indeed it had happened. The only thing we can do is to give our best wishes to the panda family and protect them together.

May All the Pandas Have A Good Health And A Long Life
