亚运会吉祥物盼盼原型大熊猫巴斯以37岁高龄去世
The world's oldest human-raised giant panda died, according to her keepers in Fuzhou, southeast China.
Basi was 37 years old when she died. She outlived all her panda friends, reaching the equivalent(相等) of more than a hundred in human years.
Giant pandas are regarded as symbols of China and are highly protected. But they are no longer endangered, following decades of protecting work.
She was named after a valley which she was rescued from. Basi had lived at the panda facility since she was four or five.
State television broadcast live from the centre on Thursday as it held a public memorial in her honour. “With a heavy heart, we sadly announce today that giant panda star Basi died at 8:50 am at the age of 37,” an official from the Straits Giant Panda Research and Exchange Centre(SGPREC) in Fuzhou said. The official said the bear had inspired the mascot for the first Asian Games in 1990. “She was an angel of friendship both at home and abroad.”
