Tao Tao was adopted by Taobao 13 years ago and successfully returned to nature under the care of its mother, Cao Cao. In 2024, panda rangers discovered that Tao Tao had become a grandfather, marking a historic milestone as the first human-domesticated and released giant panda to thrive in the wild.

To celebrate this news and China's Giant Panda Day on January 17, 2025, Taobao worked with Heaven and Hell Shanghai, who creatively portrayed Tao Tao's journey using traditional shadow puppetry, with animation brought to life by Illusion CGI Studio. Taobao also invites everyone to join their long-term "bamboo donation plan" to support wild pandas and their habitats.
