    Young Liang, two years old, is the first giant panda raised from birth in the zoo．Last month zoo keepers found the panda was suffering from serious anemia (贫血), calling for urgent (紧急) blood transfusion.

    The best way, according to the zoo’s experts, to save Young Liang from anemia would have been to transfuse blood from another panda．But it was the breeding (reproducing) season for giant pandas, making such a transfusion very difficult.

    But the experts found that there exists a close consanguinity (血缘) between giant pandas and black bears, and so they decided to try to take blood from black bears in the zoo and transfuse it to Young Liang.

    With the help of hospitals and the Beijing Blood Donor Station, they made an experiment which proved that the red blood ceils (细胞) in the blood of black bears can be used.

    On the afternoon of February 15th the first red blood cell transfusion was given to the giant panda, from 600 ml of black bear blood．Immediately the young panda started to recover.
