Short version
Bing Li (冰俐, studbook #560) is a female giant panda born September 21, 1999 at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. She is the twin sister of Bing Bing (sb559) and has lived her entire life at the base. Her mother is Yong Ba (studbook #397).
Basic Profile
Bing Li (冰俐, studbook #560) is a female giant panda born on September 21, 1999 at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. She and her twin sister Bing Bing (冰冰, sb559) were born on the same day to mother Yong Ba (studbook #397).
Life at Chengdu Base
Bing Li has resided at Chengdu Base throughout her life. Like her sister, she is now in her mid-20s, making her one of the older pandas at the facility. Her diet consists of fresh bamboo supplemented with nutritional biscuits and seasonal fruits.
Conservation Role
As a longtime resident of Chengdu Base, Bing Li is part of the captive population that has helped secure the giant panda’s future through coordinated breeding and care.
Bing Li (Chinese name 冰俐, studbook number 560) is a female giant panda born on September 21, 1999, at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan, China. She has resided in managed care at the Chengdu Research Base for her entire life, with no transfers to external facilities recorded to date. Her lineage traces to two prominent members of the base’s breeding program: sire Pan Pan (studbook number 393) and dam Ya Ya (studbook number 397), both long-term residents of the facility that contributed to foundational ex-situ giant panda conservation efforts in the late 20th century.
As a geriatric adult panda, Bing Li receives species-specific specialized care from the Chengdu Research Base’s veterinary and animal welfare teams, including tailored nutrition, regular health screenings, and habitat adjustments to support age-related needs. She continues to participate in the base’s core public education initiatives, with her on-exhibit habitat accessible to visitors. Her daily behavior aligns with standard giant panda species traits, including 10 to 16 hours per day dedicated to bamboo foraging, followed by extended periods of resting and occasional exploratory activity within her enclosure.
Bing Li holds both practical and symbolic significance for global giant panda conservation work. Her birth in 1999 marked an early success for the Chengdu Research Base’s standardized captive breeding protocols, which were refined throughout the 1990s to improve cub survival rates. As of 2024, she remains a visible representative of the long-term impact of coordinated ex-situ conservation programs, which have supported the 2016 downlisting of the giant panda from Endangered to Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, and ongoing efforts to boost wild population resilience through targeted research and reintroduction programs. She is consistently ranked among the most popular resident pandas for domestic and international visitors to the Chengdu Research Base, serving as an accessible ambassador for broader public education around habitat protection and endangered species conservation.
