Tan Tan had been under treatment after being found with heart disease in March 2021.

Tan Tan’s age of 28 was equivalent to being in her 80s in human years. She spent about 24 years in a Kobe zoo.

The female giant panda, whose age was equivalent to being in her 80s in human years, was under treatment after being found with heart disease in March 2021. She is believed to have died from prostration caused by the disease, according to Kobe Oji Zoo. Tan Tan went to the zoo from China in 2000 under a 10-year lease, but her stay was prolonged after the Chinese side agreed to extend the contract for five years twice.

After the pandemic, her return was put off again due to the need for medical treatment following the diagnosis of age-related cardiac disease in 2021.
