Ying Ping

Ying Ping is a female giant panda born on 2003-08-12 at Beijing Zoo. She is registered as studbook number 330 in the global giant panda breeding registry, and has remained in managed care since her birth. She is the offspring of Guibang (studbook 329) and Qing Qing (studbook 298), both captive-bred giant pandas housed in Chinese conservation facilities. Her lineage is well-documented as part of long-term captive breeding monitoring efforts. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, she participates in the coordinated global captive breeding program for the species. The program works to maintain genetic diversity among the captive giant panda population. As a healthy, mature captive giant panda, Ying Ping demonstrates typical foraging and resting behaviors common to the species, including spending most of her daily activity consuming bamboo. She is a popular subject for visitor observation and ecological education at her facility, contributing to public understanding of giant panda conservation success. Her documented genetic lineage makes her a valuable individual for long-term conservation research.
