The body of Xiang Xiang was found Feb. 19 on snow-covered ground in the forests of Sichuan province in China's southwest, the Xinhua News Agency said. He survived less than a year in the wild after nearly three years of training in survival techniques and defense tactics.

"Xiang Xiang died of serious internal injuries in the left side of his chest and stomach by falling from a high place," Heng Yi, an official from the Wolong Giant Panda Research Center in Sichuan, said in a telephone interview.

awww this is so sad. I felt I could relate, I grew up in an environment where everything was given to me and now I've gone into the world without preparation and it's just fuck up after fuck up and it's scary. I hope I don't fail at survival.

Poor Panda, he must¿ve been very scared and lonely.

Poor thing, why did they release it?

Quite.
