Fu Hu (#753)

福虎

alive male Born August 23, 2010

Fu Hu is a male giant panda born on 2010-08-23 at Schönbrunn Zoo. He holds studbook number 753 in the global giant panda breeding registry, and is recognized as a legally protected captive-bred individual under international and Chinese conservation frameworks. He is the offspring of Long Hui (studbook 390) and Yang Yang (studbook 512). Both of his parents were giant pandas on long-term loan from China to Schönbrunn Zoo as part of a global collaborative breeding program. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, he participates in the center’s captive breeding program for endangered giant pandas. His relocation to the facility followed a standard arrangement for loan-born giant pandas reaching adulthood, aligning with coordinated species management plans. As an adult male giant panda, Fu Hu displays typical foraging behaviors, spending most of his daily activity feeding on bamboo. His birth at Schönbrunn Zoo raised public awareness of giant panda conservation in Central Europe, and his participation in the breeding program supports efforts to maintain a genetically diverse, sustainable captive giant panda population.

Short version

Fu Hu (Chinese name 福虎, studbook number 753) is a male giant panda born on August 23, 2010 at Tiergarten Schönbrunn in Vienna, Austria. His parents are Yang Yang (studbook 512), a female panda on long-term loan to the Austrian zoo from China, and male panda Long Hui (studbook 390), who was also part of the Sino-Austrian collaborative giant panda breeding program at the time of Fu Hu’s birth. As a captive-bred individual, he is classified as a legally protected animal under both international endangered species agreements and Chinese domestic conservation regulations, with his lineage and life history formally documented in the global giant panda studbook registry.

In line with standard international panda loan terms that require offspring born to loaned pandas to be returned to China once they reach early maturity, Fu Hu was transferred to the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda on August 23, 2011, his first birthday. He has resided at the facility continuously since that time, and now participates in the center’s coordinated captive breeding program for the species. As an adult male, he exhibits species-typical behavioral patterns, devoting the majority of his daily active period to foraging on bamboo varieties cultivated and supplied by the center’s animal care team.

Fu Hu’s birth at Tiergarten Schönbrunn drew widespread public attention across Central Europe, driving increased visitor engagement with the zoo’s conservation exhibits and raising broader public awareness of the threats facing wild giant panda populations in their native range in southwest China. His inclusion in the national captive breeding program in China supports core conservation goals of maintaining high genetic diversity within the global ex situ panda population, reducing the risk of inbreeding and supporting the long-term sustainability of the species as wild populations continue to face habitat fragmentation and other environmental pressures.
