He is registered under studbook number 1170 in the global giant panda studbook managed by the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. He was raised by his mother at the base until he reached sub-adulthood, following standard captive rearing protocols for the species. He is the offspring of Tu Zi and Ya Li. Both parents are captive-bred giant pandas that have resided long-term at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. His father Tu Zi has sired multiple cubs as part of coordinated captive breeding efforts for the species. Currently living at Fuzhou Panda World, he participates in ex-situ conservation programs for giant pandas coordinated by China’s national wildlife conservation authority. Fuzhou Panda World is a public exhibit and conservation education facility that hosts giant pandas for public outreach and captive population management. As a captive-bred giant panda, Shun Shun displays typical species traits, including spending most of his daytime hours feeding on bamboo and resting. He is a popular attraction for local and visiting tourists at Fuzhou Panda World, serving as an ambassador for giant panda conservation. His birth contributes to the genetic diversity of the global captive giant panda population, which supports long-term conservation of the species.
