A two-year old giant panda defecated a syringe needle last Friday morning in a zoo in Taipei City, Taiwan, after accidentally swallowing it one day earlier. Caretakers tried to take the needle out of her mouth but failed before she swallowed it, so they quickly gave an anaesthetic and took her to the animal hospital for treatment. Due to giant pandas’ fast intestinal tract movement, veterinarians decided to wait for the needle to be excreted. The needle finally reappeared Friday morning in her excrement, to everybody’s relief
