Her official studbook number is 853, and she remains in healthy living condition as of current records. She is the offspring of Mei Lan and Chuang Chuang. Both of her parents are part of the managed giant panda breeding program overseen by Chinese wildlife conservation authorities. Currently living at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, she participates in the base’s ex-situ giant panda conservation initiative. Her health, breeding suitability, and behavioral patterns are regularly monitored by base research staff to support species preservation efforts. Yuan Run exhibits typical giant panda feeding behaviors, spending approximately 12 hours per day foraging on bamboo and bamboo shoots. She appears as a representative of the species in official base promotional materials to raise public awareness of giant panda conservation, contributing to data collection that informs both ex-situ breeding strategies and wild population protection plans in Sichuan Province.
