Re: Panda eating a carrot 
 Hsing-Hsing. the National Zoo's last remaining giant panda died on November
 28, 1999.  He  suffered from the complications of kidney failure associated
 with advanced old age. At age 28, he had survived to become one of the
 longest-lived giant pandas known.
 
 The National Zoo in Washington D.C. is trying to raise the money to "rent" a
 pair of  giant pandas from China. The going rate is 8 million dollars per
 year, per giant panda.
 Attached is a photo of one of the last days that Hsing-Hsing well enough to
 venture outside.
