Jiao Na is a female giant panda born on 2012-08-12 at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. She is listed as studbook number 845 in the global captive giant panda registry, and remains alive as of the latest population update. Her dam's identity is unconfirmed in available studbook records. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wolong, Sichuan, China, she participates in the center’s captive breeding and conservation research program for giant pandas. The program focuses on maintaining genetic diversity within the captive giant panda population and developing protocols for future reintroduction efforts. As a healthy adult captive-bred giant panda, Jiao Na demonstrates calm foraging behavior common to the species, consuming an average of 12 to 18 kilograms of bamboo daily. She draws interest from visitors to the center’s public viewing areas, supporting public education about giant panda conservation. Her genetic lineage makes her a valuable contributor to the long-term survival of the species.
