DXL Daxiangling, LS Liangshan, MIN Minshan, QIN Qinling, QIO Qionglai, XXL Xiaoxiangling, SCN Sichuan (could be DXL, LS, MIN, QIO or XXL)
^aSCN was only known to be from Sichuan and could be either MIN, QIO, LS, DXL or XXL
^bUNK = unknown habitat origin due to missing paternity resulting from the use of mixed semen in artificial insemination
^cThis is the total number of pandas in the captive population as of October 2014 and is not the summation of this column because many descendants had contributions from more than one habitat
