Pan Dee was a female giant panda[3] born around September 1940 in China[2] and settled in Bronx Zoo of New York.[4]
In 1941, Soong May-ling presented two giant pandas, Pan Dee and Pan Dah,[5] to the Bronx Zoo.[6] The gift of the two giant pandas was the inception of China's modern "panda diplomacy" and established the political gift model of "panda diplomacy".[7]
On October 4, 1945, Pan Dee died of peritonitis.[8]
