旺旺

Wang Wang is a male giant panda born on 2012-07-15 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. He is recorded as studbook number 865 in the global giant panda breeding registry, and he remains alive as of the latest official population update. He is the offspring of Pan Pan, studbook 606, and Bai Xue, studbook 514. Both of his parents are captive-bred giant pandas with documented ancestry from wild giant panda populations native to the Qinling Mountains. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Sichuan Province, he participates in the center’s coordinated captive breeding program for giant pandas. This program aims to maintain genetic diversity within the captive giant panda population and support potential reintroduction efforts for the species. As a captive-born giant panda, Wang Wang displays typical species traits including a diet composed primarily of bamboo and extended daily resting periods. He contributes to public education about giant panda conservation through on-site and remote public viewing programs at the center, supporting broader global efforts to protect the species and its remaining mountain forest habitat in central China.
