She is generally in good health now, said Chen Yucun, director of the Strait Panda Research and Exchange Center in Fuzhou. "We hope she will become the most long-lived panda," Chen said. Jia Jia in Hong Kong was the world's oldest living captive panda when she died in October 2016 aged 38.. The average lifespan of wild pandas is 15 years, while those in captivity usually live longer due to better nutrition and living conditions.
