星星

Xing Xing is a male giant panda born on 2012-08-10 at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. He is listed as studbook number 950 in the global giant panda breeding registry, and remains in good health as of the most recent conservation monitoring records. He is the offspring of Bing Bing and Wei Wei, both adult giant pandas with long records of participation in coordinated captive breeding programs run by China’s National Giant Panda Conservation System. Currently living at Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park, he participates in ex-situ conservation breeding initiatives for the giant panda species, as well as public conservation education programming hosted by the park. As a large, docile captive-bred giant panda, Xing Xing draws regular public attention to giant panda conservation efforts. He displays typical species traits, including a diet primarily composed of bamboo and extended daily resting periods. His presence at a major public tourist attraction helps raise widespread awareness of giant panda conservation progress in China, supporting both fundraising and public education for the species.
