Biography
An An was born in August 1986 in Sichuan, China, and originally lived in Wolong National Nature Reserve, from where he was sent to the Ocean Park in March 1999 as a gift from Beijing to Hong Kong, along with the female giant panda, Jia Jia.

In 2017, the 31-year-old An An became the world's longest-lived male giant panda in captivity. Following the death of Jia Jia in 2016, An An continued to live at Ocean Park. His health deteriorated in the last three weeks before his euthanisation and he stopped eating solid foods while feeling lethargic. He was euthanised on 21 July 2022, at age 35 (105 years old in human age ).
