Wen Wen is a female giant panda born on 2012-07-11 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. She is recorded as studbook number 831 in the global giant panda breeding registry, and remains alive as of the latest official population survey. She is the offspring of Tiantian, studbook 432, and Yanyan, studbook 685. Both of her parents are captive-bred giant pandas maintained at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, with documented pedigrees for coordinated conservation breeding. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wolong, Sichuan, she participates in the center’s coordinated captive breeding program for giant pandas. The program focuses on maintaining genetic diversity within the captive giant panda population to support long-term species survival. As a healthy captive-bred giant panda, she displays standard species-typical foraging and resting behaviors, spending most of her daily activity consuming bamboo. She is a popular attraction for educational conservation tourism at the center, helping raise public awareness of giant panda protection. Her documented pedigree contributes valuable data for scientific research on giant panda genetics and captive management.
