星月

Xing Yue is a female giant panda born on 2021-07-28 at Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park. She is registered in the global giant panda studbook under the number 1341, and is one of the giant pandas successfully bred through ex-situ conservation programs in southern China. She is the offspring of Jin Yi (studbook 1093) and Hao Hao (studbook 1092). Both of her parents are captive-bred giant pandas that are also housed at Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park, and they have contributed multiple cubs to the regional captive breeding population. Currently living at Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park, she participates in the park’s managed giant panda breeding and public education programs. The park maintains a habitat designed to approximate the giant panda’s native mountain environment in Sichuan, and supports daily health monitoring and behavioral enrichment activities. As a publicly viewable captive giant panda, Xing Yue draws regular visitor attention, helping raise public awareness of giant panda conservation. Her birth marked a successful outcome for China’s coordinated ex-situ giant panda conservation efforts, which work to maintain genetically diverse and healthy captive populations of the species.
