Pandas are vegetarian. Healthy people who live the longest, are too. If Pandas had all the cancers we have with as rare as they are, they'd be extinct. Cancer survivors who become vegetarian survive, no they THRIVE! I know, I am married to one who listened to this wisdom only after he had cancer. Be wise, do it sooner.

I adore the way they sit and hold their babies like we do. I think their sitting and caring similarities to humans (plus their too adorable fuzziness) are what make them so loved by us.

[@user-hx6pj5pl7f]

Isnt it more efficient to bring Panda B from the nursery, swapped them on the spot, and bring Panda A back to nursery? Why the extra trip?

[@lalina1304]

lol IKR

[@hanchen5812]

As I know some animals are very sensitive about smells and very cruel to not their own babies. Maybe the panda mom can smell a fake child of her and kill it.

[@evilspin]

Because of the scent and time being exposed withought kother. And it isn’t an actual extra trip if you thin snout it since panda B being taken to the mother to switch with panda A, is considered a trip itself.

[@mich_n_mikii]

Those criticizing that this is such a bad habitat should go educate yourself before criticizing. China is doing a fantastic job keeping and breeding these pandas. They are the treasure of China and and immeasurable amount is being spent on these pandas. This "prison" you saw is only part of their enclosure and also because of the baby.

[@honcellagunda1071]

I guess this panda will not survive in the wild because they are so lazy😁🤣

[@flyboysteven9979]

I've often wondered how a panda who is raised in captivity can survive in the wild.....because once they are put out there, i would think they wouldn't know what to do since everything up to that point has been done for them

[@faithclarke7721]

@@flyboysteven9979 that is true, but without their care the pandas would have died out a long time ago. Theyre trying to protect the species. From what i know their diet of only bamboo actually makes them really lazy in the wild as well. Tho i could be wrong. I think i remember reading they have nutritional problems cause they only eat bamboo which contributes to their having been endangered. But if they are cared for by keepers they can thrive better and someday when the population is high enough learn to be released back into the wild. There is a way to teach captive animals how to survive in the wild by hiding food and coming up with different ways for them to cultivate the skills they need.

[@flyboysteven9979]

@@faithclarke7721 I wasn't criticizing their actions...i think the pandas are very fortunate to have people care for them to protect their species...i was just pointing out that after being pampered all their lives, it must be challenging to them to have to do everything for themselves after finally being released into the wild......when my dad was alive, he did EVERYTHING for my family.....so when he passed away, we found out what all he did and it was hard for us to do everything cuz he always did them for us all our lives

[@faithclarke7721]

@@flyboysteven9979 dont worry my comment wasn't meant to be a criticism I was just commenting what I knew in case you wanted to know. you do have a good point but don't be worried there are lots of smart scientists out there an I'm sure they'd make a way to teach the pandas what they need to know before releasing new generations back into the wild. true though for the ones born in captivity and are kept to raise the population itd be too challenging for them to be released back in the wild. tho even with scientists finding ways to help them they will still need to make quite the adjustment like you said.

[@iammontecristo]

Precious. Just precious with the mommy and me time of the cubs and mom. But I will say this. I think the keepers could give the habitat a more refreshing color. Like a forest green or something to make the area seem more natural to the pandas. Not going to knock them for what they are doing. They know more about taking care of pandas than I do

[@e.conboy4286]

iammontecristo : That’s a great suggestion! These enclosures are so bleak. Perhaps artists could even paint some trees or foliage.

[@theodoremaximillios1797]

They are t enclosures they are in the “cell” to stay away from the public if a panda has babies. They have HUGE green wildlife enclosures

Patrizia mandanici yeeess thats exactly how I felt

[@yanjidu7845]

Patrizia Mandanici what you've seen here is a proven effcient method to keep twin cubs alive, because panda mother only chooses one, or very likely neither I guess the enclosure like this is mostly to keep the scents of cubs under control by zookeepers. Because it is a way to confuse the mother. It happened in 80s and 90s when they panda mother detected the scents and abonboned or even killed the cubs.
