An An

An An is a male giant panda born on 1999-12-28 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. He has an official studbook number of 469, registered in the global giant panda breeding management system. He is the offspring of Pan Pan (studbook 324) and Xue Xue (studbook 358). Both of his parents were captive-bred giant pandas managed by the Chinese national giant panda conservation program. Currently living at Ocean Park Hong Kong, he participates in public education programs for giant panda conservation. He resided at this location from 2007 until his death in 2022, under joint management between Ocean Park Hong Kong and the China Conservation and Research Center. As a male captive-bred giant panda, An An had a docile behavioral profile that made him popular with visiting tourists. He helped raise public awareness of giant panda protection in southern China, serving as a permanent conservation ambassador for the species. His long residence at Ocean Park Hong Kong provided valuable data on captive giant panda husbandry and public outreach program effectiveness.
