月云

Yue Yun is a male giant panda born on 2023-10-20 at Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo. His official studbook number is 1385, and he has remained in good health since his birth. He is the offspring of father He Sheng and mother Nuan Nuan, two adult giant pandas housed long-term at Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo. His lineage is recorded in the national giant panda breeding registry for conservation tracking purposes. Currently living at Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo, he participates in the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda’s ex-situ breeding monitoring program. Zookeepers conduct regular weight checks and behavioral observations to support his healthy development. Yue Yun displays typical juvenile giant panda traits, including frequent playful interactions with enrichment toys and close proximity to his mother during feeding times. His public exhibits at the zoo increase visitor awareness of giant panda habitat protection in Sichuan’s Minshan Mountains, contributing to local conservation education efforts.
