Hong Kong’s giant panda, Jia Jia, celebrated her 37th birthday and she was awarded two Guinness World Record titles.
Born in 1978, female Jia Jia is now officially recognised as the “oldest panda ever in captivity” and the “oldest panda living in captivity”.
So I was here today to recognise two Guinness World Records titles for Jia Jia. It’s really quite difficult to take another 15 years to beat that record.”
