Warning - Bad taste ahead
The first panda bred in captivity and released into the wild has been found dead. Xiang Xiang was released last year after his breeders had spent time teaching him how to forage for food and how to defend himself. He had three years of training on how to survive. Defensive skills included learning how to howl (doesn't sound very defensive to me). Survival skills included building a den. In fact, I am not convinced that he wasn't really a boy scout in a panda suit. No, I correct myself, didn't he win "SAS - Are You Tough Enough", the one in Scotland?
At first it looked as though he had fallen from a tree. But then investigators noticed marks that looked like scratches on his back. Was this a cover up? His death is being treated as suspicious and the police are appealing for witnesses, if you know of any pandas looking as though they have been in a fight please let them know. The question is - did Xiang Xiang fall or was he pushed?
