Bo Si

Bo Si is a male giant panda born on 2024-01-01 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. He is registered under studbook number 1408 in the global giant panda breeding registry, and is confirmed to be alive as of 2024. He is the offspring of Guo Guo, a male giant panda, and Ya Ya, a female giant panda. Both parents are permanent residents of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, and have contributed to the center’s coordinated captive breeding program. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Woltran Nature Reserve, Sichuan, he participates in the center’s captive breeding and early developmental monitoring programs. This work collects baseline data on juvenile giant panda growth to support species conservation planning. As a young captive-born giant panda, Bo Si displays typical species traits: he prefers climbing low branches and feeding on fresh bamboo shoots common to Sichuan’s temperate forests. Giant pandas like Bo Si serve as global conservation symbols for endangered biodiversity, and his participation in managed breeding supports long-term efforts to maintain genetically healthy wild populations.
