Giant panda (1940–1951)
Pan Dah (
c. September 1940 – October 31, 1951), also spelled Pan-dah,
[3] was a female
giant panda
[4] captured in
Western China
[5] and settled in
New York's
Bronx Zoo.

In 1941,
Soong May-ling,
Chiang Kai-shek, presented two giant pandas, Pan Dah and
Pan Dee,
[7] to the Bronx Zoo of the
United States.
[8] The two giant pandas were used to demonstrate the non-
Communist
Chinese's love for the United States, especially for the
Bronx.

On October 31, 1951, Pan Dah died at the Bronx Zoo.
