A keeper plays with giant panda Basi at the panda research and exchange center in Fuzhou, capital of southeast China's Fujian Province, Nov. 28, 2015. Basi celebrated her 35th birthday on Nov. 28, 2015, which roughly equals 130 years in human age. Basi is currently the oldest living panda so far in the world. Basi in 1987 visited the U.S. San Diego Zoo for shows. She attracted around 2.5 million visitors during her six-month stay in the United States and amazed many visitors by her acrobatic performances. In 1990, she was chosen as the prototype for Pan Pan, the mascot for the Beijing Asian Games. (Xinhua/Zhang Guojun) |
