Shi Shi (giant panda)

Shi Shi (c. 1970s – d. July 5, 2008), or "Rock", was a male giant panda who briefly stayed at the San Diego Zoo. He was the sire of Hua Mei.

Histroy

Shi Shi was rescued from the wild in Sichuan, China in 1992. He was rehabilated and sent to San Diego Zoo as a mate for Bai Yun in 1996. In 1999, Bai Yun was artificially inseminated with sperm from Shi Shi and Hua Mei was their offspring. It was eventually determined that he was much older than was originally assumed, and he was replaced by Gao Gao as Bai Yun's mate.cite-web|title=San Diego Zoo panda profile: Shi Shi|url=http://www.sandiegozoo.org/pandacam/meet.html]
