LIMBS NO LONGER SO LIMBER. Qiao Yuan, a 24-year-old female giant panda, eats a bamboo shoot at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Gi-
ant Panda Dujiangyan Base in the southwestern province of Sichuan. Failing eyesight, poor digestion, bad teeth, limbs no longer so limber: With captive giant pandas living
longer than ever, the list of their physical and even emotional needs is growing. China, the native home of giant pandas, is seeking to cater to those requirements with a
special home for the old timers along with customized diets, exercise, and other care aimed at improving their quality of life. See story on page 16. (AP Photo/Helene
