The world's only artificially bred panda living in the wild has plunged to its death - and may have been 'murdered' by other pandas.
Five-year-old Xiang Xiang was released into the wild a few months ago as part of China's plan to save the endangered species.
But the male panda, whose name means 'auspicious', was found dead in snow in the mountainous southwestern province of Sichuan, 40 days after scientists picked up its trace for the last time via a wireless tracking device.
The bear was covered in bite injuries, according to scientists.
Let's all have a moment of silience for XIang Xiang, sent from the comfort of his breeding center into the terrible
wilds.
