1941 Graham's Giant Panda Hunt After the death in the Bronx Zoo of Pandora and Pan in 1941 and 1940, respectively, officials at the zoo began to search for another pair of Giant Pandas to replace them. On June 17, 1941, Dr. Frank Price, on behalf of the Chinese government, asked David Crockett Graham to procure them. As the first diplomatic gift of pandas from the ruling party of China to a foreign nation, Madame Chiang Kai-shek (Soong Mei-ling) presented them to the American people as a symbol of solidarity between the two nations.
