Chi-Chi, the famous giant panda, in her London Zoo enclosure in the winter of 1967. Chi-Chi became the Zoo's star attraction and the UK's best-loved zoo animal. She arrived in 1958. The Zoological Society of London did not encourage collection of wild pandas, but accepted Chi-Chi as she had already been collected (Chi-Chi was caught in the wild in Sichuan, China in 1954). Although Chi-Chi's visit was planned to last for only 3 weeks, it was decided to buy her. In 1966 a mating attempt was made between Chi-Chi and An-An, of the Moscow Zoo – it was not successful. Chi-Chi died on 22 July 1972. (24/05/2020)2BTA607

Descrição:	Chi-Chi, the famous giant panda, in her London Zoo enclosure in the winter of 1967. Chi-Chi was caught in the wild in Sichuan, China in September 1954. It was not London Zoo's first giant panda. Four pandas arrived in 1938. However, it was Chi-Chi who became the Zoo's star attraction and the UK's best-loved zoo animal. The Frankfurt Zoological Garden provided the first European home for the panda. She then visited Copenhagen Zoo before arriving in London Zoo in September 1958. The Zoological Society of London had stated that it would not encourage collection of wild pandas, but accepted Chi-Chi as she had already been collected. Although Chi-Chi's visit was planned to last for only three weeks, it was decided to buy her for £12,000. In 1966 a mating attempt was made between Chi-Chi and An-An, of the Moscow Zoo – it was not successful. Chi-Chi died on 22 July 1972 at London Zoo. She is now a stuffed exhibit at London's Natural History Museum. Chi-Chi was the inspiration for Sir Peter Scott's distinctive black and white logo for the World Wildlife Fund. This image is from an old amateur Kodak colour transparency. It will look slightly soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1960s photograph.
