佳云

Jia Yun is a female giant panda born on 2023-10-10 at Fuzhou Panda World. She is registered under studbook number 1381 in the global giant panda breeding registry, and her birth weight fell within the normal healthy range for newborn giant pandas. She is the offspring of Jia Bao and Yun Ou, both captive-bred giant pandas housed at Fuzhou Panda World. Her birth was part of a coordinated captive breeding program managed by the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. Currently living at Fuzhou Panda World, she participates in daily captive monitoring managed by facility veterinarians and animal care staff. The facility supports national giant panda conservation efforts, and conducts regular public education programming focused on threatened species protection. As a young captive-born giant panda, Jia Yun displays typical exploratory and foraging traits of juvenile giant pandas, regularly interacting with enrichment structures. She is a popular attraction for domestic and international visitors to Fuzhou, representing the success of coordinated captive breeding for giant panda conservation, which has supported the species’ downlisting from Endangered to Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
