EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured in May 1967, we see AN-AN, Russia's giant male panda, sitting disconsolately within the confines of his compound at Moscow Zoo. The expression on his face tells a story of sadness and perhaps even a touch of depression. It is evident that he carries the weight of disappointment upon his furry shoulders. There are two reasons for AN-AN's glum appearance. Firstly, he suffers from an unfortunate stomach ache which adds to his overall discomfort. Secondly, and perhaps more significantly for him, his highly anticipated Autumn trip to London has been canceled abruptly. This news hits him hard as he was eagerly looking forward to meeting Chi-Chi at London Zoo. Chi-Chi holds a special place in AN-AN's heart as she is the only female panda that matters to him in the entire world. Their planned mating meeting would have been an important step towards preserving their endangered species. As we gaze upon this photograph, we cannot help but empathize with AN-AN's plight and feel a pang of sorrow ourselves. His desolate expression serves as a reminder of how deeply animals can experience emotions akin to our own. This image from Mirrorpix allows us to reflect on the complex emotional lives these creatures lead behind zoo enclosures—a powerful testament to the importance of conservation efforts worldwide.
