Bing Bing is a male giant panda born on 2015-08-18 at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. He is listed as studbook number 581 in the global giant panda studbook system maintained by the China Wildlife Conservation Association. He is the offspring of Baobao (studbook 649) and Yaya (studbook 652). Both of his parents are captive-bred giant pandas that have resided at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding throughout their adult lives. Currently living at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan Province, China, he participates in the base’s captive breeding research and public education programs for giant panda conservation. The base provides him with a naturalistic enclosure that mimics the giant panda’s native bamboo forest habitat. As a healthy captive-bred giant panda, Bing Bing draws regular public attention as a conservation ambassador at his home base. He displays typical giant panda foraging behavior, spending most of his active time eating local bamboo. His participation in breeding programs supports genetic diversity efforts for the vulnerable species, contributing to long-term giant panda conservation outcomes in China.
