"It is a routine check-up, but since it is already a geriatric specimen, we focus on a morning and an afternoon check-up. It is done every day. We focus on eyes, teeth, we check lungs, we check their claws, we check them completely, in a comprehensive manner, it is always through protected contact to ensure that day by day their health is stable within what is a geriatric patient." "We continue to see an old panda who eats and is still well despite all the changes that come with age." "For me, she is Xin, that gang is my heart, she is spectacular, she is fantastic, day by day she also teaches me, day by day she makes me study and research more of everything that I can offer her as a doctor, it is a challenge, it is love and passion to be with her every day." 16.

"It's a gift, it's tenderness, now that we're seeing them we understand that this is how older people are and this is how they too are acting in their way, in their rest, in their tranquility, and that now we arrive and there aren't so many people, it's also nice to be able to appreciate them, talk to them, see them, admire them."MEXICO CITY, MEXICO - AUGUST 15: Xin Xin, the oldest panda living outside China, is cared for at the Chapultepec Wildlife Conservation Center in Mexico City, where thousands of visitors arrive daily to see the 35-year-old giant panda on Friday, August 15. Crowds gathered at the conservation center to catch a glimpse of Xin Xin, who has become a major attraction for families and tourists. Mirian Noguera, veterinarian and Xin Xin’s caregiver, said caring for the panda is both a responsibility and a passion. “It’s truly fascinating, it’s an honor, it’s a source of pride for me to be part of the team in charge of taking care of the health and well-being of the panda, the last Mexican panda in this Conservation Center,” she said. “Since it is already a geriatric specimen, we focus on daily check-ups in the morning and afternoon, always ensuring that her health remains stable.” Visitors also expressed their excitement. Claudia Bolanos, who traveled from Veracruz with her daughters, described the experience as unique. “We wanted to be able to receive this gift that life is giving us of being able to see Xin Xin in person,” she said. “It’s a gift, it’s tenderness, and being here with fewer people allows us to appreciate her, see her, and admire her more closely.” Born in 1990 at Mexico City’s Chapultepec Zoo, Xin Xin is the last surviving panda in Mexico and the only one in the world not owned by China, as her parents were gifted to Mexico by Beijing in the 1970s. She is now considered a geriatric panda and receives daily medical care, including routine health check-ups.
