Hua Zuiba

Hua Zuiba is a female giant panda born on 2000-09-01 at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. She is registered as individual 476 in the global giant panda studbook, and matches the species classification Ailuropoda melanoleuca, the standard taxonomic grouping for the giant panda. She is the offspring of Baoxiong (studbook 393) and Wuyi (studbook 402), both adult giant pandas originally housed at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. Her lineage traces back to wild giant panda populations native to the Minshan mountain range of Sichuan Province, China. Currently living at Madrid Zoo Aquarium in Madrid, Spain, she participates in the cooperative international giant panda conservation breeding program coordinated by China’s State Forestry and Grassland Administration. The program manages breeding across global captive institutions to maintain genetic diversity for the species. As a long-term captive giant panda, Hua Zuiba helps educate European audiences about giant panda ecology and global threatened species conservation. She draws consistent public attention to giant panda protection efforts, and her presence advances cross-institutional collaborative research on giant panda behavior and captive care.
