Yun Yun Second is a male giant panda born on 2022-11-05 at Fuping Wild Panda Habitat (Qinling). He is assigned studbook number 1391 in the official giant panda breeding registry. He is the offspring of An An and Qin Qin, two adult giant pandas resident at the Fuping Wild Panda Habitat as part of the Shaanxi Forestry Administration’s ex situ conservation program for the Qinling panda subspecies. Currently living at Fuping Wild Panda Habitat (Qinling), he participates in the Qinling Giant Panda Population Reintroduction Pre-Training Program, which monitors his adaptive skills for potential future release into the adjacent core protected area of the Qinling Mountains. He demonstrates typical juvenile giant panda behavioral traits, including frequent play interaction with peer cubs and gradual foraging practice on wild bamboo varieties. His existence supports long-term research on Qinling panda subspecies genetic diversity, and he is a key indicator of the habitat’s successful breeding program for the vulnerable species.
