Giant Panda Mei Xiang enjoys a fruitscicle.


Panda cub dies at Smithsonian's National Zoo. The cub, conceived through artificial insemination, was 14-year-old mother Mei Xiang's second in seven years with 15-year-old Tian Tian, the zoo's male giant panda. Veterinarians pronounced the cub dead on Sunday Morning at 10:28 a.m. The investigators will perform necropsy, because there wasn't any signs what caused the cub's death. The giant panda is one of the most endangered species in the world, and that's why every panda cub is important.
