TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — An 18-year-old male panda at Taipei Zoo named Tuan Tuan (團團) suffered a serious seizure last month and a scan has revealed lesions in both hemispheres of the brain, raising concerns among veterinarians the condition could become fatal.
According to Taipei Zoo, Tuan Tuan, who had been sent to the zoo from China in 2008, suffered a seizure that lasted three minutes on Aug. 23 and subsequently lost his appetite. After a preliminary examination by veterinarians, Tuan Tuan was sent to the National Taiwan University Veterinary Hospital on Sept. 18 to undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
“The two names were selected by a vote in the PRC and their combination, Tuan Yuan, means “reunion” in Chinese. The pandas are housed at Taipei Zoo and have been exhibited to the public since the 2009 Chinese New Year”.
They will still play the victim card and holler because we “let” one of their precious country 's treasures die.
Probably even demand to get the others back, especially the ones born in Taiwan.
Which, anyways, was going to happen unless they loaned other two male pandas to get a conservation project going. Otherwise, a single family is just for show.
The tell all is that would depend if Taiwan has a CKMT or DPP government. So far the zoo animal that is leading the CCP hasnt yet gotten that petty. Yet.
If strategic ambiguity is to be a thing, keep the pandas, breed them then loan out to places like lithuania with chinese type terms. No softer way to declare independence lol
Problem is where are we going to get a male? Unrelated male, genetically ok male, healthy male…that actually wants to reproduce. That last item is why these animals were endangered.
