Tohui
Our school name
Tohui was the first baby panda to survive into adulthood in captivity at the Chapultepec Zoo in Mexico City, Tohui captured the hearts of the people in Mexico City.
Born on July 21, 1981, Tohui was the offspring of the gifted panda couple "Ying Ying" and "Pe Pe," graciously provided by the Chinese Government. Her birth marked a significant milestone in international conservation efforts, symbolizing hope for the survival of the giant panda species.
To honor her heritage and the indigenous culture of Mexico, Tohui was given a name with deep meaning. "Tohui," derived from the Taramahura language of the indigenous tribe from Chihuahua, Mexico, translates to "Child." This name reflected not only her status as a beloved offspring but also celebrated the rich diversity of Mexico's cultural tapestry. Tohui's legacy ended on November 16, 1993.
