Intriguing Details of Panda Xing Fan

Apppearance: Xing Fan has large ears, a long snout, and slightly asymmetrical black eye patches. Her fur also has a subtle yellowish tint, making her stand out among other giant pandas with a unique charm.

Name Origin: Xing Fan and her brother Xing Hui are the 9th pair of twin panda cubs born at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. After birth, they were named “Xing Hui” and “Xing Fan,” symbolizing their brilliance, like shining stars in the sky.

Quiet Little Panda: Unlike her lively and playful brother Xing Hui, Xing Fan has always been calm and reserved since childhood. She prefers to play quietly by herself, often sitting in a corner of the yard, fiddling with small stones and mud, or hiding among bushes chewing on twigs, fully immersed in her little world.

Relocation: During her early years, Xing Fan thrived in the Moonlight Delivery Room alongside her brother Xing Hui, receiving attentive care from the staff. As they grew older, Xing Fan and Xing Hui transitioned to the Nantong Forest Wild Animal Park, where they began a new chapter in their lives.

Awkward Moment: Possibly to avoid noisy tourists or to enjoy some fresh air, Xing Fan once climbed up a tall tree to take a nap. However, when she woke up, she realized that the branch she had chosen was quite thin. Worried that it might break under her weight if she climbed straight down, she tried to descend from another branch. After several attempts, she still didn’t dare to take the step, looking visibly awkward and unsure of what to do.
