Born September 22, 2015
Mang Zai is a female giant panda born on 2015-09-22 at Chongqing Zoo. She is registered as studbook number 968 in the global giant panda studbook system, which tracks the captive population of the species across all participating facilities. She is the offspring of Yong Bang (studbook 792) and Xing Rong (studbook 465). Both of her parents are captive-bred giant pandas that have resided at Chongqing Zoo for most of their adult lives. Currently living at Chongqing Zoo, she participates in the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda’s coordinated captive breeding program.
