Pan Dah (c. September 1940 – October 31, 1951), also spelled Pan-dah,[3] was a female giant panda[4] captured in Western China[5] and settled in New York's Bronx Zoo.[6]
In 1941, Soong May-ling, Chiang Kai-shek, presented two giant pandas, Pan Dah and Pan Dee,[7] to the Bronx Zoo of the United States.[8] The two giant pandas were used to demonstrate the non-Communist Chinese's love for the United States, especially for the Bronx.[9]
On October 31, 1951, Pan Dah died at the Bronx Zoo.[2]
