Short version

Hai Hai (海海, studbook #1309) is a male giant panda born on 2018-07-29 at Hainan Zoo. He currently lives at Hainan Zoo. His parentage is not documented in publicly available studbook records.

Hai Hai is a male giant panda born on July 29, 2018, at Hainan Tropical Wildlife Park and Botanical Garden in Haikou, Hainan Province, China. Assigned global giant panda studbook number 1309, he is the offspring of male panda Lu Lu (studbook number 649) and female panda Ya Ya (studbook number 595), both captive-bred individuals with fully documented pedigrees registered in the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda’s central studbook system. His lineage can be traced back to wild giant panda populations native to the Min Mountains of Sichuan Province, contributing to the genetic diversity of the global captive giant panda population. As of the latest official health assessments, Hai Hai remains in good physical condition.

Hai Hai has resided at Hainan Tropical Wildlife Park and Botanical Garden for his entire life, as the facility participates in China’s national giant panda conservation programming. His dedicated enclosure is designed to replicate the cool, bamboo-rich forest habitat of wild giant pandas, with care teams adhering to standardized husbandry protocols developed for captive panda populations. Regular health checks and continuous behavioral data collection are conducted as part of routine monitoring, with the anonymized data submitted to central research databases to support global studies of captive giant panda welfare and biological patterns.

As one of the most popular animal residents at the Hainan facility, Hai Hai serves a core role in the park’s public conservation education programming. On-site interpretive exhibits alongside his enclosure provide visitors with information about wild giant panda habitat loss, existing protection efforts, and the role of captive breeding programs in species recovery. His visible daily behaviors, which align with typical giant panda activity patterns including 10 to 16 hours a day feeding on bamboo and extended periods of resting, help visitors build tangible connections to the species. Hai Hai’s public presence supports broader conservation outreach aligned with China’s national panda protection priorities, which contributed to the 2016 downlisting of wild giant pandas from endangered to vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, while ongoing outreach efforts work to maintain public support for long-term protection initiatives.
