Bai Yun (simplified Chinese: 白云; traditional Chinese: 白雲; lit. 'White Cloud'; born September 7, 1991) was the first female giant panda who was born at the Wolong Giant Panda Research Center in China.[1] From September 1996 she lived at the San Diego Zoo for more than 20 years, until being returned to China in May 2019.[1] Bai Yun gave birth to her sixth cub in 2012 since arriving at the San Diego Zoo, considered the most surviving pandas born at a breeding facility outside of native China. Bai Yun returned to China with her last-born (Xiao Liwu) as the 23-year conservation loan of the pandas came to an end between China and San Diego Zoo Global.
