Meet the Pandas

Yun Chuan is a five-year-old male, and his mother Zhen Zhen was the fourth cub born at the San Diego Zoo. He’s identifiable by his long, slightly pointed nose.

Xin Bao is a four-year-old female whose name means “precious treasure of prosperity and abundance.” She is best recognized by her large, round face and big, fluffy ears.

For 30 years we’ve worked alongside our Chinese conservation partners to save, protect, and care for giant pandas and their ecosystems. Yesterday, in recognition of these achievements and our continued collaboration, Governor Gavin Newsom declared today, August 8, 2024, California Panda Day. We look forward to many more years of inspiring conservation allies in San Diego and around the world to fall in love with these incredible bears and join us in helping them thrive for generations to come.

You make it all possible. Thank you for being part of our family, and for all you make possible for wildlife worldwide. We can’t wait to see you soon at the Zoo.
