HONG Kong's giant panda, Jia Jia, celebrated her 37th birthday in style on Tuesday, as she was awarded two Guinness World Record titles.
Born in 1978, Jia Jia is now the equivalent to 110 in human years. The female panda arrived at Hong Kong Ocean Park in 1999 together with male panda An An and went on to become one of the most popular attractions. She currently weighs 78 kilograms and is in stable health, though she suffers from high blood pressure and arthritic pain. The Guinness adjudicator said Jia Jia's longevity was a mark of her own natural gifts and her keeper's care.
"So I was here today to recognize two Guinness World Records titles for Jia Jia. The first being the oldest panda living in captivity and then the second title for the oldest panda ever in captivity. The previous record holder for the oldest ever in captivity was actually in 1999. So you can see the kind of difficulties in getting a panda to live even longer, it's really quite difficult to take another 15 years to beat that record," said Blythe Ryan Fitzwilliam from Guinness world records.
