Ping An

平安

Ping An is a male giant panda born on 2011-08-21 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. He is listed as studbook number 822 in the global giant panda studbook system, which tracks the genetics and life history of captive giant pandas across all managed facilities. He is the offspring of studbook 432 and studbook 685, both registered giant pandas held at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. His genetic profile is documented as part of the center’s coordinated captive breeding program. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wolong, Sichuan, China, he participates in the center’s captive giant panda breeding and research initiatives. The program focuses on maintaining genetic diversity within the captive giant panda population to support long-term species survival. As an adult captive-bred giant panda, Ping An displays typical giant panda foraging behavior, consuming primarily bamboo and spending most of his daily hours resting and feeding. He contributes to public education about giant panda conservation at the center, and his genetic material helps researchers maintain a healthy, demographically stable captive population that supports reintroduction efforts for the species.
