Yun Ning Second

云宁

Yun Ning Second is a male giant panda born on 2022-08-30 at Fuping Wild Panda Habitat (Qinling). His official studbook number is 1355, and he is recorded as a living member of the captive Qinling giant panda population as of current records. He is the offspring of Mei Lan and Le Le. Both of his parents are part of the coordinated giant panda breeding program managed to preserve the genetic diversity of the vulnerable Qinling giant panda subspecies. Currently living at Fuping Wild Panda Habitat (Qinling), he participates in the habitat adaptation training program run by the habitat’s conservation team. The program is designed to prepare young pandas for potential future reintroduction into the adjacent wild Qinling mountain giant panda reserves. Yun Ning Second demonstrates typical juvenile giant panda behavioral traits, including frequent play activity and gradual independent bamboo foraging practice as he matures. His birth and upbringing contribute to long-term population viability research for Qinling giant pandas, supporting ongoing efforts to prevent the subspecies from further population decline.
