Xiang Xiang, the world's only artificially bred panda living in the wild, was confirmed dead on May 31, 2007. Experts speculated that Xiang Xiang might have fallen from a high place after getting into a fight with the original "residents" for food or territory. Xiang Xiang was found dead on snow-covered ground on Feb. 19, some 40 days after scientists picked up the panda's trace for the last time via a wireless tracking device it wore on its neck. Officials attributed the long delay in publicizing Xiang Xiang's death to the need for a full investigation. (Xinhua, File Photo)
