福凤

Fu Feng is a male giant panda born on 2009-08-05 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. He is registered under studbook number 780 in the global giant panda breeding registry, which tracks individual pedigrees and demographic data for the managed population. He is the offspring of Xiong Gu (studbook 630) and Xue Xue (studbook 631). Both of his parents are captive-bred giant pandas housed at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda’s Wolong base in Sichuan, China. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, he participates in the center’s captive breeding program for giant pandas, which aims to maintain genetic diversity within the ex-situ population. The program supports long-term conservation goals for the species through planned pairings and research. As a healthy adult male giant panda, Fu Feng displays typical species traits, including a diet composed primarily of bamboo and terrestrial arboreal behavior. He contributes to public education about giant panda conservation at the center’s visitor facilities, and his genetic material helps preserve diversity for future reintroduction efforts into native mountain forests in Sichuan.
