Tohui the panda was born on July 21,
1981 in Mexico City.
Tohui, which in the Nahuatl language
means "child", became something of a
pop culture phenom in Mexico City. On
a global level, it was the first time,
outside of China, that a giant panda
was born and lived in captivity.
The panda was a sensation, becoming
the city's mascot and main zoo
attraction, and also a marketing
wonder.
