Woman Explorer Captures Panda At Chicago Zoo
Mrs. William H. Harkness Jr earns credit for capturing the only live giant panda in captivity. Found November 3, 1936 in a hollow log in southwestern China, the panda Su-lin weighed three pounds and eyes were closed. Under Harkness care it grew to over fifty pounds and is now a prized exhibit at the Chicago Zoological Park. The panda’s name means a little bit of fore precious, fitting the animal’s valued status.
