Born October 23, 1992
Mei Mei is a female giant panda born on 1992-10-23 at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. She is the offspring of Baoxing (studbook 319) and Hai Zi (studbook 293), both wild-born giant pandas rescued from native habitats in Sichuan. Currently living at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, she participates in the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda’s coordinated captive breeding program. As one of the early captive-born giant pandas at the Chengdu base, Mei Mei displayed consistent maternal care behaviors that informed captive breeding protocols for the species. She was featured in educational exhibits at the base that introduced millions of global visitors to giant panda ecology. Her participation in research contributed to baseline data on captive giant panda health and reproduction, supporting broader conservation efforts for the endangered species endemic to southwestern China.
