Studbook #217 • 美美

deceased female Generation 200

Mei Mei (美美, studbook #217) was a wild-born female giant panda captured in Meigu County, Sichuan in the 1970s. She survived the 1985 bamboo flowering disaster that killed dozens of pandas and was transferred to Guilin Zoo, where she lived for 20 years. At 36 years old at her death in 2005, she was the oldest captive panda in the world — equivalent to 108 human years.
