Xue Qiu

Xue Qiu is a female giant panda born on 2015-08-20 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. She is recorded as studbook number 1064 in the global giant panda registry, and remains alive as of the most recent species monitoring updates. She is the offspring of giant panda males with studbook 730 and giant panda female with studbook 724. Her lineage is fully documented in the China Conservation and Research Center’s official breeding records, which track genetic diversity for managed giant panda populations. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Sichuan Province, China, she participates in the center’s coordinated captive breeding program. This program focuses on maintaining genetic health of the captive giant panda population to support long-term species survival. As a captive-bred giant panda, Xue Qiu displays typical foraging and resting behaviors, spending most of her daily activity feeding on bamboo. She contributes to public education about giant panda conservation at the center’s visitor facilities, and her genetic profile helps researchers better understand the connectivity of wild and captive giant panda populations.
