心皓

Xin Hao is a male giant panda born on 2014-07-18 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. He is registered in the international giant panda studbook with the number 943, making him a documented individual in global giant panda population monitoring. He is the offspring of Lu Lu (studbook 730) and Xi Mei (studbook 724), both captive-bred giant pandas held at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. His lineage is tracked as part of the center’s coordinated captive breeding program for the species. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wolten, Sichuan, he participates in the center’s long-term giant panda captive breeding and behavioral research projects. Researchers at the center collect regular data on his feeding, activity patterns, and social interactions to inform species management. As a healthy adult captive-bred giant panda, Xin Hao displays typical species traits including a diet dominated by bamboo and extended daily resting periods. He contributes to public education about giant panda conservation at center outreach events, and his participation in the breeding program supports efforts to maintain a genetically diverse captive population for the vulnerable species.
