The first panda bred in captivity and released into the wild has died in China after less than a year — the apparent victim of a fall. Chinese officials said the body bore injuries inflicted by wild pandas, and the animal may have died trying to escape. The body of the 5-year-old panda, Xiang Xiang, was found Feb. 19 in the forests of Sichuan province in China’s southwest, the Xinhua News Agency said.
