华宁

Hua Ning is a male giant panda born on 2021-08-20 at Zhuhai Chimelong Safari Park in Henan. He is registered under studbook number 1347 in the national Chinese giant panda breeding registry, and remains in good health as of 2024. He is the offspring of father Qin Qin and mother Hao Hao, both captive-bred giant pandas with established lineages from the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. Currently living at Zhuhai Chimelong Safari Park in Henan, he participates in the park’s public education programs and the coordinated national captive breeding program for giant pandas managed by China’s National Forestry and Grassland Administration. As a young adult captive-bred giant panda, Hua Ning displays typical species traits, including a diet consisting almost entirely of bamboo and regular bouts of resting and foraging. He is a popular attraction for domestic and international visitors to the park, supporting public awareness of giant panda conservation. His participation in the coordinated breeding program helps maintain genetic diversity within the global captive giant panda population.
