Fu Hu

Fu Hu is a male giant panda born on 2010-08-23 at Schönbrunn Zoo. He holds studbook number 753 in the global giant panda breeding registry, and is recognized as a legally protected captive-bred individual under international and Chinese conservation frameworks. He is the offspring of Long Hui (studbook 390) and Yang Yang (studbook 512). Both of his parents were giant pandas on long-term loan from China to Schönbrunn Zoo as part of a global collaborative breeding program. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, he participates in the center’s captive breeding program for endangered giant pandas. His relocation to the facility followed a standard arrangement for loan-born giant pandas reaching adulthood, aligning with coordinated species management plans. As an adult male giant panda, Fu Hu displays typical foraging behaviors, spending most of his daily activity feeding on bamboo. His birth at Schönbrunn Zoo raised public awareness of giant panda conservation in Central Europe, and his participation in the breeding program supports efforts to maintain a genetically diverse, sustainable captive giant panda population.
