华华

Hua Hua Jr. is a female giant panda born on 2020-07-04 at Zhuhai Chimelong Safari Park in Henan. She is listed as studbook number 1295 in the global giant panda registry maintained by the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. Her birth marked a successful captive breeding outcome for the park’s giant panda conservation program. She is the offspring of Hua Xiong and Zhen Zhen, both adult captive-bred giant pandas housed at Zhuhai Chimelong Safari Park. Her father Hua Xiong was born at the Wolong National Nature Reserve in Sichuan, while her mother Zhen Zhen was born at the Beijing Zoo as part of an earlier captive breeding initiative. Currently living at Zhuhai Chimelong Safari Park in Zhuhai, Henan, she participates in the Chinese Association of Zoological Gardens’ coordinated giant panda public education and captive breeding programs. The park hosts regular supervised public viewing sessions to raise public awareness of giant panda conservation needs. As a subadult giant panda, Hua Hua Jr. displays typical species traits, including spending most of her daytime hours feeding on bamboo and resting. She is a popular attraction for domestic tourists visiting Zhuhai Chimelong Safari Park, and contributes to public understanding of threatened species protection. Captive-bred individuals like her support research that informs wild giant panda habitat conservation efforts across China.
