Susu, a 34-year-old giant panda, died from an illness on June 2. The eldest panda at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, Susu’s age was equivalent to 100-plus for a human being.

Susu experienced a hard life, during which she gave birth to five baby pandas. In recent years, she suffered from many diseases including high blood pressure, deterioration of liver function and heart failure. Her condition gradually worsened beginning in late May, and she passed away on June 2.

An autopsy showed that Susu's liver had hardened, and many of her organs, such as her spleen and lungs, had atrophied.
