星云

Xing Yun Third is a male giant panda born on 2022-11-15 at Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park. He is listed as individual number 1395 in the international giant panda studbook, and he remains alive as of 2024. This birth marked a successful captive breeding outcome for the park’s giant panda conservation program. He is the offspring of Xing Yi and Ting Ting, both captive-born giant pandas resident at Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park. Both of his parents have contributed multiple offspring to the Chinese Association of Zoological Gardens’ coordinated giant panda breeding scheme. Currently living at Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China, he participates in the facility’s public education and captive breeding conservation initiatives. He is accessible to public viewing, which supports visitor learning about giant panda ecology and conservation needs. As a young captive-bred giant panda, Xing Yun Third displays typical species traits, including a diet composed almost entirely of bamboo and frequent periods of resting and foraging. He is a popular attraction for domestic and international tourists to Guangzhou, helping raise public awareness of giant panda conservation. Captive-bred individuals like him support research that informs the protection of wild giant panda populations across central China.
