毛笋

alive female Born: July 26, 2014

Mao Sun is a female giant panda born on 2014-07-26 at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. She is listed as studbook number 936 in the global giant panda breeding registry, and remains alive as of 2024. She is the offspring of Xi Ao (studbook 743) and Cheng Gong (studbook 767). Both of her parents are captive-bred giant pandas housed at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, with established lineages from wild giant panda populations native to Sichuan province. Currently living at Copenhagen Zoo in Denmark, she participates in a cooperative global conservation breeding program for giant pandas coordinated by the China Wildlife Conservation Association. This program is part of long-term international efforts to protect the endangered species. As a captive-bred giant panda, Mao Sun draws regular public attention to giant panda conservation, helping raise global awareness of habitat protection for wild populations. Her gentle foraging and climbing behaviors align with typical giant panda traits, and she serves as an ambassador for Chinese biodiversity in Europe. Her participation in the breeding program supports genetic diversity management for the captive giant panda population.
