Worlds only human-bred panda in wild dies File photo dated 27 April 2006 shows workers attaching an electronic tracer onto the 4-year-old male panda Xiang Xiang at the Wolong Giant Panda Research Center in Wolong, in southwest Chinas Sichuan province. Xiang Xiang, the first giant panda bred in captivity and released into the wild, fell to his death less than a year after he was released into the wild, possibly after a fight with other pandas. Officials said that the body bore injuries inflicted by wild pandas and that Xiang Xiang might have died trying to escape. The body of the 5-year-old panda was found Feb. 19 on snow-covered ground in the forests of Sichuan. He survived less than a year despite nearly three years of training on surviving in the wild. An official said an announcement of the death was delayed because of the need for an investigation.
