Mu Xue

Mu Xue is a female giant panda born on 2008-08-13 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. She is recorded as studbook number 727 in the global giant panda studbook system, which tracks individual panda demographics for coordinated conservation management. She is the offspring of Ti Xin (studbook 432) and Dong Dong (studbook 685), both resident giant pandas born and raised at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. Her lineage is part of the center’s managed breeding program designed to maintain genetic diversity among captive giant pandas. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Woltran, Sichuan, she participates in the center’s captive breeding and behavioral research initiatives focused on giant panda ecology. The center is a leading institution for giant panda conservation, housing over 150 captive giant pandas and supporting reintroduction training for captive-bred individuals. Mu Xue displays typical giant panda foraging traits, spending 10 to 12 hours daily consuming bamboo. As a genetically valuable individual in the captive breeding program, she contributes to maintaining the population’s overall genetic health. She is also a common subject for public educational content about giant panda conservation, helping raise global awareness of the species’ recovery progress.
