This article explores the specialized geriatric care that keeps aging pandas healthy: soft bamboo-cut diets for worn teeth, blood pressure monitoring, cataract surgery, arthritis management, and the peaceful 'retirement' facilities at Dujiangyan where former breeding pandas and overseas returnees live out their final years.
