Short version
Bo Si (博斯, studbook #750) is a female giant panda born August 7, 2009 at the Ya'an Bifengxia Base. Daughter of Tian Tian (Edinburgh) and Xi Meng, she became a "gold medal predictor" at the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games — she was one of 12 pandas sent to cheer for the Games, and could find hidden food faster than any other panda. Since 2018, she has been a wild training mother, raising cubs in simulated wilderness.
Basic Profile
Bo Si (Chinese: 博斯), studbook number 750, is a female giant panda born on August 7, 2009 at the China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Pandas (CCRCGP) Ya’an Bifengxia Base. Her mother is Tian Tian (甜甜, studbook 569) — the Edinburgh female — and her father is Xi Meng (希梦, studbook 474).
Her twin brother is Shen Wei (绅威, studbook 751).
The Asian Games Predictor (2010)
On October 27, 2010, Bo Si was one of six pandas flown to Guangzhou aboard a China Southern “Asian Games” charter flight, joining six existing pandas at Xiangjiang Safari World (Chimelong) to form the “Asian Games Panda Group” — 12 pandas assembled to promote the 16th Asian Games.
During the Games, Bo Si gained a peculiar kind of fame. Keepers began hiding food in her enclosure and found that she consistently located it faster than any other panda. A playful narrative developed: if Bo Si found the food quickly, it meant China would win gold that day. She was dubbed the “gold medal predictor” — and remarkably, her “predictions” were accurate enough that the story was picked up by the media.
Wild Training Mother (2018–present)
Since 2018, Bo Si has been a participant in CCRCGP’s wild training program, using the mother-rearing method (母兽带崽法). She raises her cubs in semi-wild enclosures with minimal human contact, teaching them foraging and survival skills. Her keepers describe her as having excellent wild survival instincts and rich maternal experience.
