Bai Yun

Bai Yun

Bai Yun (zh-ts|t=白雲|s=白云; meaning: "White Cloud") (born 1991-09-07) is a female giant panda currently at the San Diego Zoo. Bai Yun was the first successful birth of a giant panda at the Wolong Giant Panda Research Center in China.

In the spring of 1999, Bai Yun was artificially inseminated with sperm from Shi Shi, the male panda at the zoo at that time. On August 21, 1999, Bai Yun gave birth to Hua Mei, the first giant panda born in the United States to survive to adulthood. (The first surviving cubs in North America were bred in the Chapultepec Zoo). Millions of people around the world watched Hua Mei grow up via the San Diego Zoo's Panda Cam.

Bai Yun has since given birth to three other cubs, Mei Sheng, Su Lin, and new born Zhen Zhen, all via natural mating. Bai Yun and these cubs' sire, Gao Gao, are considered the most reproductively successful panda parents in captivity in North America.
