An An, the world’s oldest male giant panda under human care, was euthanised on the morning of July 21, 2022, at Hong Kong’s Ocean Park. The park said the animal, aged 35, equivalent to 105 human years, had refused solid food and only drank water or liquids with electrolytes in the final days leading up to his death. The park added that the panda had been mostly inactive and staff had provided medical care to ease its discomfort.
