Pan Pan (1985 – 28 December 2016) was a male giant panda who was resident at the Giant Panda Protection and Research Centre in Chengdu, China.
At the time of his death, he was the oldest male giant panda in captivity.
[2] Pan Pan (meaning "hope" or "expectation") was born in the wild in Baoxing County, Sichuan, China, in 1985, and after being rescued was placed in the Chengdu protection centre.
He is thought to have over 130 descendants – more than a quarter of the world's captive-bred panda population.
