Bing Xing

Bing Xing is a male giant panda born on 2000-09-01 at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. His studbook number is 518, and he remains alive as of the latest verified conservation records. He is the offspring of Baoxin (studbook 424) and Bingbing (studbook 465), both captive-bred giant pandas raised at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. Currently living at Madrid Zoo Aquarium in Madrid, Spain, he participates in the zoo’s public education programming and a global captive breeding coordination program for giant pandas managed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. As a mature captive-bred giant panda, Bing Xing exhibits typical foraging behavior, with bamboo making up more than 99% of his daily diet. He serves as a cultural ambassador between China and Spain, drawing millions of public visitors to Madrid Zoo Aquarium each year. His participation in coordinated breeding supports genetic diversity maintenance for the global captive giant panda population, which contributes to long-term species conservation efforts.
