According to a report by Japan’s Yomiuri Shimbun on June 14, 2025, Dan Dan, the giant panda that died in March last year at Kobe City’s Prince Zoo (Nada Ward, Kobe), is currently being prepared as a specimen by the city of Kobe, with plans to return it to China. This is because the ownership of the giant panda belongs to the Chinese side, and both parties are coordinating the timing of the return. (DanDan)
