He is Zoo's new male panda, born in 2020 and has a very lively and active personality. His name in Chinese is composed of the words Jin (gold) Xi (happiness), which translates as ‘Golden Happiness’. If you come to meet him, you will also recognise him by his characteristic freckle on his face, which gives him a very unique look!

With the panda pair, Zoo Aquarium Madrid will continue its commitment to giant panda conservation in collaboration with the China Wildlife Conservation Association (CWCA).

The panda conservation programme is of vital importance for the preservation of this species, efforts in coordination with breeding centres in China and zoological institutions around the world which, together with the work of protecting the protected areas where they live, has reduced their category of threat in the world, has made it possible to reduce its threat category in recent years, going from Endangered to Vulnerable status, from around 1100 specimens in the 1980s to 1900 in 2023, to which should be added 728 specimens from zoos and breeding centres around the world, including the 46 births that have taken place in 2023.
