Fu Bao, born in July 2020, was the first giant panda born in Korea. Due to China’s policy mandating all giant pandas to return to the country by age four, Fu Bao was transferred to the Chengdu Research Base on April 3.
The giant panda made her first public appearance at the base about 70 days after her arrival on June 12, appearing healthy despite some controversy surrounding her hair loss.
Rui Bao and Hui Bao, Fu Bao’s twin siblings, currently reside at the Everland amusement park in Gyeonggi.
