Lu Lu
Male
Rescued: October 1999
Lu Lu is a BIG strong male panda. He was wild-born, rescued in October 1999 and has fathered many cubs already (at least 20 confirmed). The introduction of his wild genes into the breeding program has been critical to keeping the gene pool diverse. His most “famous” offspring is likely Tao Tao, who was released into the wild in 2012.
