An An was euthanized at a Hong Kong amusement park on Thursday.
An An, the oldest-ever male panda in captivity, has died at the age of 35 in a Hong Kong amusement park. The giant panda was euthanized after his health deteriorated over the course of several weeks, according to a statement from the Ocean Park theme park, where An An lived since 1999.
The male giant panda was gifted in 1999 to Hong Kong along with a female, named Jia Jia. The two pandas were provided by Chinese officials as part of a"panda diplomacy" program, where giant pandas are leased to other nations, according to the Associated Press . Geriatric pandas are susceptible to a host of health issues, including high blood pressure — an ailment that afflicted An An in his final weeks. According to Ocean Park, An An's food intake steadily declined, while his nap time steadily increased. By July 17, An An had stopped taking solid foods altogether and only drank water infused with electrolytes.
