Taiwan negotiators made the announcement on Tuesday after the morning session of the fourth round of cross-Straits talks between the Beijing-based Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) and the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF).

The Taipei city zoo made the offer last year to donate a sika deer, a critically endangered species, and a Formosan serow, a small but agile mountain goat that's also seldom seen anymore in Taiwan. A pair of giant pandas, offered to the island as a goodwill gesture to Taiwan compatriots, were shipped to the Taipei city zoo in December last year.
