Long Hui

Long Hui is a male giant panda born on 2000-09-26 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. He is listed as studbook number 523 in the global giant panda studbook system, which tracks captive giant panda populations for coordinated conservation management. He is the offspring of Pan Pan and Bai Xue. Pan Pan, studbook number 348, was one of the most prolific male giant pandas in captive breeding programs, while Bai Xue, studbook number 343, is a female giant panda with a well-documented captive lineage. Currently living at Schonbrunn Zoo, he participates in the international giant panda conservation breeding program coordinated by global zoo and conservation associations. The program supports research on giant panda biology and public outreach focused on endangered species protection. As a captive-bred giant panda, Long Hui draws consistent public attention to giant panda conservation efforts. His regular feeding and climbing behaviors at Schonbrunn Zoo help educate international visitors about the species’ native bamboo forest habitat in southwestern China. He contributes to global understanding of captive giant panda care, supporting long-term goals for species recovery.
