Man Lan

Man Lan is a female giant panda born on 2014-01-01 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. She is listed in the international giant panda studbook under registration number 937, and remains alive as of the most recent official census data for the species. She is the offspring of giant panda studbook number 612 and giant panda studbook number 751, both adults housed at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda at the time of her birth. Her lineage is fully documented in the global giant panda studbook maintained for coordinated captive breeding. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Sichuan Province, she participates in the center’s coordinated captive breeding program for endangered giant pandas. The program supports genetic diversity management and potential reintroduction efforts for the species into protected wild habitats. As a healthy adult captive-born giant panda, Man Lan displays species-typical foraging behaviors, including spending over 10 hours daily consuming bamboo. She is a popular subject for visitor observation at the center’s public viewing areas, and her documented genetic profile contributes valuable data to global giant panda conservation research.
