娇庆

Jiao Qing is a male giant panda born on 2010-07-15 at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. He is registered in the global giant panda studbook under studbook number 769, and his early development was managed by base breeding and veterinary teams focused on genetically sustainable captive populations. He is the offspring of Pan Pan (studbook 749) and Wu Gang (studbook 567). Both of his parents were long-term residents of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, and were part of China’s established captive giant panda breeding program. Currently living at Berlin Zoo in Germany, he participates in the international giant panda conservation partnership between China and Germany. The program supports collaborative research on giant panda behavior, diet, and captive management, while providing public education opportunities for European audiences. As a healthy adult captive-bred giant panda, Jiao Qing displays typical species traits including a specialized bamboo diet and regular resting patterns. He is a high-profile cultural ambassador for giant panda conservation, drawing millions of visitors to Berlin Zoo annually. His participation in the international program supports broader global efforts to protect endangered giant pandas and their native mountain habitats in southwest China.
