• 英语原文

Chiang Mai Zoo in Thailand said that Chuang Chuang was eating bamboo before he died.

Chuang Chuang was a 19-year-old male giant panda.

He was given to the Southeast Asian country in 2003 along with a female panda, Lin Hui.

Xinhua news agency said the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda has sent experts to Thailand to work with the Thai zoo to spot the cause of the panda's death.

According to the World Wildlife Foundation, a panda's average life span is 14 to 20 years in the wild.

But the animals can live as long as 30 years in captivity.

Giant pandas were once regarded as endangered, but were re-classified as a vulnerable species in 2016.
