珍多

Zhen Duo is a male giant panda born on 2014-08-04 at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. His official studbook number is 916, and he was listed as alive in the most recent species conservation records. He is the offspring of Mei Lan and Mei Mei. Both of his parents are part of the national giant panda captive breeding program administered by the Chinese wildlife conservation authority. Currently living at Kunming Zoo, he participates in the regional ex-situ giant panda conservation education initiative. He was transferred to this location on his first birthday in 2015 as part of a coordinated species management arrangement between the two institutions. He displays the typical giant panda dietary preference for bamboo, and regularly draws visitors seeking to learn about vulnerable wildlife species. His public presence contributes to public awareness of giant panda habitat protection efforts across southwest China.
