An An

An An is a male giant panda born on 2021-06-14 at Ocean Park Hong Kong. He is registered in the international giant panda studbook under the number 1206, and is recognized as a member of China’s captive giant panda population. He is the offspring of Ying Ying (studbook 608) and Le Le (studbook 611), both resident giant pandas at Ocean Park Hong Kong. His birth marked the second successful captive breeding of giant pandas at the park, following the birth of his older sibling in 2020. Currently living at Ocean Park Hong Kong, he participates in the park’s public education programs for giant panda conservation. He also contributes to regional research on giant panda growth and social behavior, overseen in collaboration with the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. As a charismatic giant panda born to Hong Kong’s only captive giant panda pair, An An draws regular public attention and supports local conservation outreach. He displays typical species traits, including a bamboo-dominated diet and daily resting and foraging routines. His presence helps raise public awareness of the giant panda’s status as a vulnerable species and the importance of habitat protection.
