Japan's only giant panda, Ling Ling, died of old age today at Tokyo's Ueno Zoo. Ling Ling was 22 years and seven months old. Mourners said a prayer for Ling Ling and placed flowers at a makeshift altar near his enclosure. Ling Ling was removed from public viewing two days ago, because he was suffering from heart and kidney failure.
Ling Ling was the only giant panda owned by Japan. There's 8 giant pandas in Japan, but they are all being leased by China.
