Xin Yu is a female giant panda born on 2014-07-18 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. She is listed as studbook number 941 in the global giant panda breeding registry. She is the offspring of Bing Ding, studbook number 730, and Xi Mei, studbook number 724. Both of her parents are resident breeding adults at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, contributing to the center’s managed breeding program. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wolten, Sichuan, she participates in the center’s long-term species monitoring and conservation breeding initiative. This program is part of national efforts to maintain genetic diversity for the wild giant panda population. As a captive-bred giant panda, Xin Yu displays typical foraging behaviors, spending roughly 12 hours daily feeding on bamboo. She is featured in educational materials for public conservation outreach, and her genetic profile adds valuable diversity to the captive giant panda population, which supports the long-term survival of the species.
