HE Sheng, a captive-bred panda, died just two months after being released into the wild in southwest China’s Sichuan Province, the Chengdu Research Base for Giant Panda Breeding revealed yesterday.
The male, born in 2013, was released into the wild last July but on September 27, his GPS collar sent an alarm, prompting an overnight search. When researchers found his body they noticed injuries on his right shoulder, right ear and right hind limb. An autopsy confirmed the panda died of septicemia due to a bacterial infection after being attacked by unknown animals.
