Syu Hin is a male giant panda born on 2003-09-08 at Adventure World, Wakayama, Japan. He holds studbook number 565 in the international giant panda breeding registry maintained by the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums. He is the offspring of giant panda male Yong Ming (studbook 390) and giant panda female Mei Mei (studbook 412). His lineage is part of the core captive giant panda breeding population managed through cooperative conservation agreements. Currently living at Shenzhen Safari Park, Guangdong, China, he participates in the China Giant Panda Conservation Research Program’s public education and captive breeding initiatives. The park hosts regular research monitoring activities to track his health and behavior for species conservation data collection. As a mature male giant panda, he displays typical foraging behaviors, spending over 10 hours daily consuming bamboo. He is a popular animal ambassador for giant panda conservation, drawing public attention to global efforts to protect the species’ native mountain habitats in central China. His presence in captivity contributes to public awareness and the long-term genetic diversity of the global captive giant panda population.
