In 2023, the first panda baby was born in the Panda Center.

  On June 21st, China Giant Panda Conservation and Research Center announced that on May 29th, the giant panda "Xinxin" successfully gave birth to a cub at Shenshuping base in Wolong. This is the first cub born to a captive giant panda in the Panda Center this year, which indicates that the giant panda in the center has officially entered the "cubing season".

  "In late February this year, the female giant panda ‘ Xinxin ’ And the male giant panda ‘ Huayang ’ Natural mating succeeded. After about two months, ‘ Xinxin ’ Pregnancy manifestations such as reduced food intake and increased activity occurred. On May 28, prenatal irritability occurred, and a cub was born at 22: 51 on May 29. " Yang Changjiang, director of the Breeding Park of the Wolong Shenshuping Base of the Panda Center, said.

  “‘ Xinxin ’ The experience of giving birth is rich, and the whole production process is very smooth. Under the careful care of the breeder, at present, the mother and son are in good health. The cub close to the full moon weighs 721.8 grams. Initially, this cub is female. " Wei Rongping, director of the Wolong Shenshuping Base of the Panda Center, said.

  It is reported that after the giant panda "Xinxin" entered the third trimester of pregnancy, the breeding team of Panda Center took turns to be on duty 24 hours a day. Through remote video surveillance and on-site observation, it monitored the physiological behavior, production and rearing of "Xinxin" and timely analyzed and judged the health status of giant pandas and their cubs.

  The Panda Center has created the world’s largest captive population of giant pandas since it overcame the problem of giant panda breeding in the 1990s. By strengthening pedigree management, delineating the core captive population, and scientifically formulating the panda pairing plan, the transformation and sustainable development of captive population from quantity priority to quality priority have been realized. By improving the management level of giant panda breeding, carrying out research on wild training, release and field introduction, it provides strong scientific and technological support for the construction of giant panda national park.
