Qin Xin is a female giant panda born on 2019-06-30 at Qinling Wildlife Park. She is registered under studbook number 1318 in the global giant panda studbook system, and she remains alive as of the latest official census. She is the offspring of Guibang (studbook 518) and Ruilan (studbook 553). Both of her parents are wild-origin giant pandas captured and brought into captivity for conservation management in the Qinling Mountains region. Currently living at Qinling Wildlife Park, she participates in the ex-situ conservation breeding program for giant pandas managed by the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. The program focuses on preserving the genetic diversity of the Qinling subspecies of giant panda. Qin Xin displays typical giant panda foraging behavior, consuming up to 15 kilograms of bamboo daily. As a native Qinling subspecies individual, she features in public education programs at Qinling Wildlife Park, raising public awareness of giant panda conservation. Her genetic lineage contributes to the long-term survival of the vulnerable Qinling giant panda population.
