Two giant panda cubs born at Hetaoping Wilderness Training Base in Sichuan Province, China, have unwittingly set a milestone for their threatened species. He He (“Harmony”) and his sister Mei Mei (“Beautiful”) are :
A) The first panda twins born with blue eyes
B) The first panda twins born without teeth
C) The first panda twins with a captive mother and wild father.
C) The first panda twins with a captive mother and wild father.
Since 2016, the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP), which manages the Hetaoping facility among others, has for brief periods released a handful of females into the forest beyond the confines of the base, in the hope that they would encounter a wild male and breed. This interaction is seen as a vital step to bolster the limited gene pool of the captive panda population, which poses a danger to the bears’ genetic diversity and resilience to disease.
Cao Cao, who herself was born in the wild but has been cared for by humans since she was around 13 months old, is the first known success story from this initiative. Following the tragic death of her half-wild cub in 2017, there is a great sense of joy and relief as the twins approach their first birthday.
