Meizhu was born in the early hours of June 18, 2024, as Mengmeng’s first cub. Her mother, Mengmeng, is the eldest of the 2014 giant panda triplets Mengmeng, Shuaishuai and Kuku at Chimelong. The cub’s early nickname was a homophone meaning “little pig”; on her first birthday she officially received the name Meizhu, chosen to convey the idea of being treasured like a pearl.
