(140318) -- ZHENGZHOU, March 18, 2014 (Xinhua) -- Photo taken on March 18, 2014 shows a new panda house under construction at the Zhengzhou Zoo in Zhengzhou, capital of central China's Henan Province. Giant panda Longsheng at the zoo will be sent back to China Research and Conservation Center for the Giant Panda in Sichuan, southwest China, after the death of another panda Jinyi a month ago. Jinyi died on Feb. 9 from a massive hemorrhage and shock triggered by acute gastroenteritis. The death of the seven-year-old female panda was caused by a parasite disease, a virus analysis has revealed. Chinese zoos can lease pandas from Wolong-based China Research and Conservation Center for the Giant Panda in Sichuan. The Zhengzhou Zoo said it would build a new panda house and apply for acceptance again. (Xinhua/Li An) (ry)
