Xue Xue is a female giant panda born on 2012-07-28 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. She is registered in the global giant panda studbook under the identification number 838, and remains alive as of the latest official records from the center. She is the offspring of Lu Lu, with studbook number 432, and Xi Xi, with studbook number 685. Both of her parents are captive-bred giant pandas maintained at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, with well-documented pedigree records for conservation breeding programs. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wolong, Sichuan Province, she participates in the center’s coordinated ex-situ conservation breeding program for giant pandas. This program aims to maintain genetic diversity among captive giant panda populations and support potential reintroduction efforts for the species. As a captive-bred giant panda, Xue Xue displays typical species traits including a diet composed primarily of bamboo, and daily activity patterns focused on foraging and resting. She is a regularly observed subject for research on giant panda behavior, and contributes to global public education about giant panda conservation, supporting the species’ overall recovery goals.
