Shuhin

Shuhin is a male giant panda born on 2003-09-08 at Adventure World, Japan. His studbook number is 569, and he is recognized in global giant panda breeding records maintained by international and Chinese conservation authorities. He is the offspring of Yongming (studbook 384) and Meimei (studbook 480), both captive-bred giant pandas with documented lineages in the international giant panda breeding program. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wolong, Sichuan, he participates in the coordinated captive breeding program designed to maintain genetic diversity for the species. As a large captive-bred giant panda, Shuhin exhibits typical species traits including a bamboo-dominated diet and prolonged daily resting periods. He has drawn public attention as one of the first giant pandas born in Japan repatriated to China for conservation breeding, contributing to public education about giant panda conservation and supporting efforts to sustain a healthy, genetically diverse captive population that can support future reintroduction initiatives.
