In this photo released by the Taipei Zoo, Chinese Panda experts, Wei Ming at left and Wu Honglin, center looks at Tuan Tuan at the Taipei Zoo in Taipei, Taiwan on Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2022. Taiwan has welcomed the pair of experts from China to help with the ailing panda in a rare opportunity for contact between the sides. TAIPEI, Taiwan — Taiwan has welcomed a pair of experts from China to help with an ailing panda in a rare opportunity for contact between the sides.

Chief veterinarian Lai Yen-hsueh said the experts had agreed to hold off on surgery based on the animal's possible reaction to anesthesia and the location of the diseased area.
