Mei Sheng, almost four years old

Mei Sheng (b. August 19, 2003) (Chinese: 美生, meaning: "Beautiful Life" or "Born in the USA") is a male giant panda born at the San Diego Zoo. He is the second panda to be born at the zoo and is the first offspring of Bai Yun and Gao Gao. He is the half brother of Hua Mei and the brother of Su Lin, Zhen Zhen, and Yun Zi.[1]

Mei Sheng was sent to China on November 5, 2007. He was reported to have arrived safely at the Wolong National Nature Reserve on November 8, 2007.[2]

After the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake, Mei Sheng was relocated to Bifengxia Panda Base, where in May 2009 he successfully copulated with a female giant panda, Ying Ying.[3] Ying Ying's female cub, born August 26, was sired by either Mei Sheng or another male, Lu Lu.
