The oldest-ever male giant panda in captivity has died at age 35 at a Hong Kong theme park.

An An lived most of his life at Ocean Park after he and a female panda were gifted to Hong Kong by China in 1999. The female panda, Jia Jia, died in 2016 at age 38. She was the oldest female panda ever in captivity.

Ocean Park mourned An An as a family member who grew with the park and bonded with locals and tourists.

“An An has brought us fond memories with numerous heart-warming moments. His cleverness and playfulness will be dearly missed,” Paulo Pong, chairman of Ocean Park Corporation, said in a statement.
