Ying Ying

盈盈

Ying Ying is a female giant panda born on 2007-01-01 at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. She is recorded as individual 1070 in the international giant panda studbook, and is currently recognized as a healthy adult captive-born giant panda. She is the offspring of Xiong Xiong and Ya Ya. Both of her parents are captive-bred giant pandas housed at Chinese giant panda conservation facilities. Currently living at Ocean Park Hong Kong, she participates in the park’s giant panda conservation education program. This program facilitates public education about giant panda ecology and supports coordinated conservation efforts between mainland Chinese institutions and Hong Kong wildlife organizations. As one of the few giant pandas permanently housed in Hong Kong, Ying Ying draws regular public attention and serves as a local conservation ambassador. She exhibits typical giant panda foraging and resting behaviors, spending most of her daily activity feeding on bamboo. Her presence helps raise public awareness of endangered species protection and the success of global captive breeding programs for giant pandas.
