Even Pandas Born in Japan Are Returned to China
Ueno Zoo received its first pandas in October 1972, commemorating the normalization of diplomatic ties between Japan and China. The arrival of the male Kang Kang and the female Lan Lan sparked an unprecedented “panda boom” in Japan. After their deaths, the female Huan Huan and male Fei Fei arrived in the early 1980s, followed by the birth of the female Tong Tong in 1986 and the male You You in 1988.
The male Ling Ling arrived in Tokyo in 1992. He traveled three time to a zoo in Mexico that was taking part in a joint fertility project, and his mating partner Shuan Shuan also was loaned to Ueno Zoo, but he died in 2008 without leaving any offspring. For three years thereafter, Ueno Zoo had no panda, until the arrival from China of the male Ri Ri and female Shin Shin in 2011.
