Ling Ling (giant panda)
was a male Chinese-born, giant panda who resided at the Ueno Zoo, the largest zoo in Tokyo, Japan.〔 has been added as a temporary fix. Please find a more stable link as a proper replacement.]〕 At the time of his death at the age of 22, Ling Ling was the only giant panda at the Ueno Zoo and the oldest panda in Japan.〔 He served as an important symbol of the Ueno Zoo and of friendship between Japan and China.〔 Ling Ling, who was given to Japan in 1992, was the only giant panda in the country who was directly owned by Japan.〔 There are eight other giant pandas in Japan as of April 2008, but they are all on loan to Japan from China.〔 Despite being a male panda, Ling Ling's name meant "darling little girl" in Chinese.
==Early years and life at the zoo==
Ling Ling was born at the Beijing Zoo in Beijing, China, in September 1985. He was given to Japan and the Ueno Zoo in November 1992 by China in exchange for a panda which had been born in Japan. The 1992 panda exchange, between China and Japan, which is often called Panda diplomacy, took place to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the normalization of bilateral Sino-Japanese relations in 1972.〔 He remained one of the Ueno Zoo's most popular attractions for over 15 years.〔
The Ueno Zoo paired Ling Ling with a female panda named Tong Tong.〔 The two pandas became mates, but were unable to breed successfully and produced no offspring.〔 Tong Tong died in 2000, leaving Ling Ling as the only giant panda at the Ueno Zoo.〔 The zoo had tried unsuccessfully to breed Ling Ling with other pandas since 2001 using artificial insemination.〔 Ling Ling was even sent out of Japan to Mexico three times in an attempt to mate him with other pandas.〔
