Cang Cang is a male giant panda born on 2012-08-03 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. He is listed in the international giant panda studbook under registration number 836, and remains alive as of the most recent official population surveys. He is the offspring of giant panda male 730 and giant panda female 724, both registered individuals in the global captive giant panda breeding program. His lineage follows established breeding protocols designed to maintain genetic diversity for the species. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Sichuan Province, he participates in coordinated captive breeding and species monitoring programs run by Chinese wildlife management authorities. The center is one of the world’s leading facilities for giant panda conservation and research. As a healthy captive-bred giant panda, Cang Cang displays typical foraging and resting behaviors associated with the species, consuming mostly bamboo as his primary diet. He contributes to public education about giant panda ecology at the center, and supports the overall conservation goal of maintaining a genetically robust captive population for the species.
