Xiangxiang's mother is at Ueno Zoo in Japan. Xiangxiang's parents are the giant panda Billy and the fairy who went to Japan on 20 1 1. Xiang Xiang was born in Ueno Zoo on June 20 17. Because Youyou is a giant panda, Xiangxiang is the first giant panda to grow up in Ueno Zoo in 29 years. Billy and the fairy once gave birth to a cub on 20 12, but only survived for six days. The following year, the "fairy" showed signs of pregnancy, but it was only a fake pregnancy. In 20 17, they finally ushered in the birth of a new baby. Director Fukuda was overjoyed, and Matsuzaka House also made billboards and balloons to celebrate the newborn panda baby.
