Female giant panda Ba Si hungrily eyes her birthday cake at the Fuzhou Giant Panda World Zoo in Fuzhou, capital of southeast China's Fujian Province, on November 13, 2010. Ba Si, the original inspiration for the 1990 Beijing Asian Games mascot Pan Pan, celebrated her 30th birthday on November 13. Giant panda experts have attributed Ba Si's longevity to her strong, healthy teeth. The average life expectancy for a captive panda is around 25 years (Xinhua) |
