alive male
Born: August 4, 2017
Yuan Meng is a male giant panda born on 2017-08-04 at ZooParc de Beauval. His official studbook number is 1088, and he was the first giant panda cub successfully born in France. He is the offspring of Yuan Zai (studbook 500) and Le Le. Both of his parents were loaned to ZooParc de Beauval under the Sino-French giant panda conservation cooperation agreement that took effect in 2012. Currently living at China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, he participates in the center’s captive giant panda breeding program. He also takes part in long-term species health monitoring projects run by the center’s conservation research team. Yuan Meng shows a high level of adaptability to natural bamboo foraging behaviors observed in wild giant panda populations. As a symbolic product of Sino-French wildlife conservation collaboration, he has raised cross-border public awareness of giant panda habitat protection, and contributes valuable genetic diversity to the global captive giant panda population.
