One of the oldest pandas in the world is Jia Jia. A female giant panda named Jia Jia lived in Ocean Park Hong Kong. She was the oldest giant panda in captivity at the time of her passing. Jia Jia was rescued in Qingchuan County at the age of two after being born in the Sichuan province's wilderness.

Jia Jia was the oldest panda ever kept in captivity, dying at the age of 38. Jia Jia has been in Ocean Park Hong Kong since 1999, and there, they claim that two weeks prior to her passing, the giant panda's health had begun drastically deteriorating. Jia Jia's health deteriorated to the point where Ocean Park and the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department's vets agreed to mercifully put her to death.

The Central China Government donated Jia Jia and a few other gigantic pandas. For 17 years, Jia Jia served as one of Ocean Park's most well-liked animals and assisted in educating the general public about the value of wildlife protection. Since Jia Jia is the oldest panda kept in captivity, she continues to hold the Guinness World Record.

In 1992, a wild Shi Shi was captured in Sichuan, China. In 1996, he underwent rehabilitation and was delivered to the San Diego Zoo to mate with Bai Yun. In 1996, China brought Shi Shi and Bai Yun to the San Diego Zoo as part of a 12-year study loan agreement. Hua Mei, the first panda in the United States to survive infancy, is the product of artificial insemination between Shi Shi and Bai Yun, despite the fact that they never actually mated.

Shi Shi's sperm was used to artificially inseminate Bai Yun in 1999, and the result was the birth of Hua Mei. He was subsequently found to be much older than first thought, and Gao Gao took his place as Bai Yun's mate. Shi Shi gained notoriety while working with Bai Yun at the San Diego Zoo.

Shi Shi was sent back early in 2003 due to his age and his refusal to mate, even though Shi Shi and Bai Yun were originally supposed to return to China in 2008. He was believed to be in his 30s when he passed away in 2008 in the Guangzhou Zoo. Shi Shi is one of the oldest pandas in the world.

In China, Basi was regarded as a sort of celebrity, and her birthday was frequently observed with fervor. When Basi was on a six-month loan to the San Diego Zoo in 1987, she traveled for a while.

Keepers at Basi's residence in China's south-eastern Fuzhou province reported that she passed away at the age of 37. At the age of four or five, the panda was taken to the Straits Giant Panda Research and Exchange after being rescued from the Basi valley. Since being saved from the wild after falling into a river, Basi had been residing at the Straits Giant Panda Research and Exchange Center in China. After the valley where she was discovered, her rescuers gave her the name Basi.

A zoo representative referred to Basi as "an angel of friendship" and stated that he served as the inspiration for the first Asian Games' mascot in 1990. On Thursday, a public memorial service performed in the bear's honor was streamed live on state television from the center.

The next position on the list of the oldest pandas in the world is Taotao. A huge panda from China was named Taotao. When Taotao passed away at the age of 36, she was the oldest giant panda still alive in China.

Taotao was born in the wild in the Gansu province and transferred to the Jinan zoo in Shandong province in October 1994. Despite the efforts of academics and zoo keepers, Taotao never delivered birth while being kept in captivity. From 1994 through 2008, Taotao was one of the Jinan Zoo's top attractions and was viewed by millions of tourists. Taotao apparently received the honorary title "ambassador of harmonious zoology" from the Jinan Zoo.

On April 2, 2008, at the Jinan Zoo, Taotao passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage and a brain thrombus. Since the cerebral thrombus condition was found in February 2008, her health had been deteriorating. Taotao lived much longer than the giant panda's typical life expectancy, which is 25 years. According to Chinese reports, the province of Gansu would receive Taotao's remains. In captivity as of 2008, there were more than 200 giant pandas, who are native to China.

Ming Ming, like many of the other pandas on this list, was the oldest panda alive when she passed away in 2011 at the age of 34. Ming Ming was born sometime in late 1977 and saved in Pingwu County two years later.

Ming Ming first traveled to Europe in 1986 when she was lent to the Dublin Zoo in Ireland. Ming Ming was returned to Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding after their attempt to breed her with Ping Ping failed. When Ming Ming returned to Europe in 1991, they attempted to breed her once more at the London Zoo with Bao Bao, a member of the Berlin Zoo.

Ming Ming suffered severe injuries, including the loss of a portion of her ear, two illnesses, and the need for surgery because the two pandas loathed one another. Ming Ming never had children and spent her final years at Xiangjian Wild Animal World where Ming Ming resided. Because she had resided at the Dublin Zoo in Ireland and the London Zoo in the United Kingdom, she was also quite well-known in Europe.

At the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., a female giant panda cub named Bao Bao was born. Before February 2017, she spent four years residing at the Zoo. She is currently based at Sichuan Province's China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. She is the sister of Xiao Qi Ji, Tai Shan, and Bei Bei.

100 days after her birth, Bao Bao received her name. First ladies Peng Liyuan of China and Michelle Obama of the United States both submitted unique video greetings that were aired during the naming ceremony. China's panda diplomacy includes Bao Bao's birth, naming ceremony, and a trip to China in 2017.

Before he passed away in 2012 at the age of 34, Bao Bao was the oldest male panda in the entire globe. Hua Guofeng, the then-leader of China, presented Bao Bao to West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt in 1980. Although Bao Bao spent his entire life at the Berlin Zoo, he was occasionally sent to other zoos for breeding. Bao Bao, however, was unable to have any offspring.

Bao Bao was the sole panda present in the Berlin Zoo at the time of his passing. Tjen Tjen, a female panda, had accompanied Bao Bao when he first came to Berlin, but she passed away in 1984 before they could mate.
