Bing Bing

Bing Bing is a male giant panda born on 1985-01-01 in the wild of Sichuan Province, China. He was later transferred to the Wolong National Nature Reserve before being moved to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding for permanent housing. His studbook number is 590, recorded in the international giant panda studbook maintained by global conservation organizations. He is the offspring of wild, unnamed giant pandas native to the Qinling Mountains region of central China. No official records exist of his parentage’s specific identities, as he was rescued as a juvenile after being separated from his mother due to natural habitat disturbance. Currently living at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Chengdu, Sichuan, he participated in the base’s early giant panda behavioral research and captive management trials. Prior to his death, he contributed to long-term studies of captive giant panda dietary adaptation and social interaction. As one of the first wild-rescued giant pandas to acclimate to captive conditions at Chengdu Base, Bing Bing helped researchers refine protocols for rescuing injured or displaced wild giant pandas. His presence helped raise early public awareness of giant panda conservation, and his biological samples contributed to foundational genetic research for the species. He remains a notable figure in the early history of China’s modern giant panda conservation program.
