Welcome to the Life on Earth Gallery. Find the Giant Panda in the endangered species case, all the animals in this case are endangered. This particular Giant Panda was named Grandma, we think because of her docile nature. She died in 1939, shortly after being transported from China to London zoo. Her cause of death was pneumonia although incidentally she may have eaten through her shipping crate during her travels. The thorough autopsy of Grandma contributed greatly to our knowledge of Giant Panda anatomy. There are only about 1800 pandas left in the world.
