Man Yue

Man Yue is a female giant panda born on 2018-09-20 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. Her studbook number is 1185, and she is recorded in the global giant panda studbook maintained by international conservation coordination groups. She is the offspring of 900 (studbook 900) and 1032 (studbook 1032), both adult giant pandas housed at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. Her lineage is fully documented in the center’s captive breeding registry, which tracks genetic diversity for the managed population. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wenchuan, Sichuan, she participates in the center’s captive giant panda breeding and conservation research programs. The center monitors her health, behavior, and genetic contribution to the broader captive population as part of long-term species recovery efforts. As a healthy adult captive-born giant panda, Man Yue displays typical foraging and resting behaviors common to the species, with a diet consisting almost entirely of bamboo. She is a popular subject for public conservation education content distributed from the center, and contributes to the maintenance of genetic diversity in the captive giant panda population, which supports reintroduction initiatives for the vulnerable species.
