Intriguing Details of Panda Jin Du Du

Naming Process: Jin Du Du’s name was chosen through a nationwide naming contest that received over 3,000 submissions. On October 30, 2020, the China Gold Coin Corporation officially adopted and named the giant panda Jin Du Du. The name “Jin (金)” represents the China National Gold Group, symbolizing that the giant panda is a national treasure and a precious gem of the country. Just like gold coins, which need to be meticulously crafted to achieve a perfect image, the panda also requires careful attention to preserve its beauty. “Du Du” represents health, growth, and cuteness.

Physical Characteristics: Jin Du Du stands out with her distinctive appearance – long legs, a slightly bald tail, and a tall, unique build. Her ear fur is notably large, giving her a somewhat comical expression. Additionally, her eye rings are more pronounced and resemble her father Wu Yang’s, making her features particularly striking.

Lack of Hygiene: Jin Du Du and her twin sister Meng Meng were soft, cute, and white as cubs, but as they grew older, they became known as the famous “Coal Mining Sisters.” They often rolled around on the ground, playing and getting filthy, looking as if they had just crawled out of a coal pile.

Sisterly Bond: Jin Du Du and her sister Meng Meng share a deep bond and often play and frolic together. On one occasion, to reward Jin Du Du for her hard work, Meng Meng carefully selected a tasty bamboo shoot and invited her sister to enjoy it. However, Jin Du Du was distracted, smiling and greeting the fans, and didn’t respond to her sister right away. It wasn’t until Meng Meng reminded her that Jin Du Du quickly took the bamboo shoot and began eating it with great delight.
