Hua Yun is a male giant panda born on 2022-10-15 at the Zhuhai Wildlife Park, Henan. His studbook number assigned by the China Giant Panda Studbook is 1383, and he remains alive as of 2024. He is the offspring of Qin Qin and Ya Ya, both adult giant pandas previously housed at the Zhuhai Wildlife Park. His lineage is part of the managed captive breeding program coordinated by the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Pandas. Currently living at the Zhuhai Wildlife Park, Henan, he participates in the center’s captive breeding research and public education initiatives focused on giant panda ecology. Park staff monitor his daily activity and growth as part of long-term captive giant panda health studies. As a young captive-born giant panda, Hua Yun displays typical species traits including daily bamboo foraging and regular tree climbing. He is a popular attraction for domestic visitors to the Zhuhai Wildlife Park, supporting local conservation outreach. His presence contributes to the genetic diversity of the global captive giant panda population, which supports ongoing conservation efforts for the species in wild Sichuan habitats.
