Jia Jia

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.
