月星

Yue Xing is a male giant panda born on 2023-09-10 at Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo, with the official studbook number 1367. He is in healthy physical condition as of current public records, with no documented health complications reported in his first year of life. He is the offspring of male giant panda He Sheng and female giant panda Fu Wa, two adult pandas housed long-term at Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo as part of the national captive giant panda breeding program. No other full or half siblings of Yue Xing have been recorded at the zoo as of 2024. Currently living at Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo, he participates in the institution’s juvenile giant panda socialization and health monitoring protocols, overseen in coordination with the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. Care teams track his growth milestones, feeding habits, and motor skill development on a weekly basis. Yue Xing exhibits typical juvenile giant panda behaviors, including frequent exploratory play and gradual introduction to bamboo supplementation alongside mother’s milk. His public exhibits draw consistent visitor attention, raising public awareness of giant panda habitat protection efforts in Sichuan, China, and supporting the zoo’s wildlife conservation education programs.
