A video showing the naemorhedus swinhoei, an indigenous goat, is seen during a news conference co-held by the Taiwan-based Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) and mainland's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) in Taipei, southeast China's Taiwan Province, Nov. 6, 2008. The mainland chief negotiator on Taiwan affairs said here Thursday morning that the giant panda pair that the mainland promised to donate to Taiwan three years ago will soon arrive on the island. The mainland also offered Taiwan 17 Nyssaceae seedlings, a rare flowering plant that grows in the mainland only. On behalf of mainland compatriots, Chen accepted a pair of indigenous goats with the scientific name of naemorhedus swinhoei and a pair of spotted deers. [Xing Guangli/Xinhua]
