WIRE:03/20/2000 09:16:00 ET Anti-ageing drug perks up 29-year-old panda HONG KONG (Reuters) - A panda is still perky at 29 thanks to anti-aging pills, a Chinese drug firm said Monday. SIIC Medical Science and Technology, unveiling plans to sell products overseas and on the Internet, said a pill developed by its subsidiary Hangzhou Qingchunbao had kept a panda in a Hangzhou zoo in the pink of health. "The panda, at 29 years of age, is still jumping around. What is the reason? For nine years, we have given it our anti-aging pills," chairman Zhuo Fu Min told a news conference, drawing laughter. For a panda, 29 is roughly equivalent to a human age of over 80, he said. Zhuo said the company, which uses natural ingredients, also planned to develop anti-cancer medicines. The contents of the panda's tonic were not disclosed.
