Yingying was born in the wild in Yingxiong Valley, Wolong, around November 1991. In early spring 1992, she and her mother were attacked by yellow-throated martens and became separated, after which Yingying was rescued. Over more than three decades in human care, she developed a notably calm manner. In her later years, keepers remembered her as clean, gentle and kind, and her quiet way of sitting helped the nickname “Lao Foye” endure.
