If I carve your name into every park bench for the rest of my life it's not to prove I love you but to try and understand why I love you.

Su Lin was the first live panda in the United States. Ruth Harkness captured Su Lin in Szechwan, China during her expedition and brought him to the U.S. to raise awarness of the threat that hunting posed to pandas.
Su Lin arrived at the Brookfiled Zoo February 1937 and died there of pneumonia, at about two years old, in April 1938. An autopsy revealed that Su Lin-thought to be female-was really male. His body was sent to The Field Museum for scientific study and eventual display.
During his brief life, Su Lin charmed Brookfield Zoo visitors, and the entire country. He appeared frequently in the press, newsreels, and on the radio.
