好好

Hao Hao is a female giant panda born on 2009-07-07 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. She is listed as studbook number 733 in the international giant panda breeding registry, and remains alive as of 2024. She is the offspring of Pan Pan (studbook number 438) and Don Don (studbook number 719). Her lineage traces to the wild Minshan giant panda population, one of the largest remaining wild giant panda populations in China. Currently living at Pairi Daiza, a zoological park in Belgium, she participates in the global coordinated breeding program for giant pandas. This program is run through a partnership between Pairi Daiza and the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, focused on protecting the species. As a captive-bred giant panda, Hao Hao demonstrates typical species traits, including a diet dominated by bamboo and extended periods of daily resting. She is a major cultural attraction for visitors to Pairi Daiza, and contributes to global public awareness of giant panda conservation. Her participation in the breeding program supports the long-term genetic diversity of the captive giant panda population.
