The name Xiao Liwu became part of his identity in San Diego. Bai Yun gave birth to her sixth cub on July 29, 2012, and 100 days later the public chose the name Xiao Liwu, meaning “Little Gift.” San Diego keepers consistently described him as steady and observant, focused yet relaxed during training. In 2019, he returned to China with his mother, Bai Yun.
