Feng Ning

Feng Ning is a female giant panda born on 2022-08-30 at the Fuping Protection Station of the Wolong National Nature Reserve. Her studbook number is 1354, and she is recorded in the China Giant Panda Studbook maintained by the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. She is the offspring of Xi Bang (studbook number 649) and Cao Cao (studbook number 607). Both of her parents are wild-born giant pandas that have remained in their natural habitat within the Qionglai Mountains. Currently living in the Fuping section of the Wolong National Nature Reserve, Sichuan, China, she participates in the reserve’s long-term monitoring program for wild giant panda populations. The program tracks movement, foraging habits, and social interactions to collect baseline ecological data. As a wild-born giant panda, Feng Ning displays typical foraging behaviors: she spends over 10 hours daily consuming bamboo, the primary food source for the species. Her presence in the wild demonstrates the success of habitat protection efforts in the region, and contributes to the genetic diversity of the wild giant panda population, which is classified as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
