竹琳

Zhu Lin is a male giant panda born on 2010-09-07 at Zoo Aquarium de Madrid. His studbook number is 767, and he was confirmed to be in healthy condition at birth by the veterinary team of his birth institution. He is the offspring of studbook 475 and Hua Zuiba. His birth marked the second successful giant panda breeding recorded at Zoo Aquarium de Madrid in the 2010s. Currently living at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, he participates in the base’s giant panda captive breeding and species conservation research programs. He was transferred to this facility in 2011, after reaching one year of age. Zhu Lin exhibits typical foraging and climbing behaviors consistent with his species, and is a regular subject of public educational programs at the base. His cross-border birth and rearing trajectory provides valuable comparative data for international giant panda conservation collaboration, supporting efforts to maintain the genetic diversity of captive giant panda populations.
