He is recorded under studbook number 1419, and is recognized as a healthy captive-born giant panda by global giant panda conservation monitoring systems. He is the offspring of Lu Wei and Xi Zhen, both adult giant pandas housed at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda's Wolong base. His lineage follows established captive breeding protocols designed to maintain genetic diversity for the species. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, he participates in standardized captive giant panda monitoring and behavioral research projects. Researchers at the center collect regular data on his feeding, activity, and development to inform broader giant panda conservation management. As a young captive-born giant panda, Ba Xi displays typical species traits including spending most active hours foraging for bamboo. He contributes to public education about giant panda conservation through official center outreach, and represents the continued success of coordinated captive breeding programs for this vulnerable species native to central China’s mountain forests.
