[@Yosetime]

I've watched a few documentaries on the Captive Panda breeding program in China. And right away I noticed that the way in which they attempt to breed the Panda's is so far away from their natural way that it was clear this was the problem. So instead of fixing the problem by allowing male bears to fight for the females as nature intended, they just put the male in the cement pen with the female during her cycle and if he wants to breed her he first beats the crap out of her and the caretakers think nothing of it as long as she doesn't die. Like even if she is mangled seriously that's ok with them as long as they breed. But to make sure, they also use invitro fertilization as well as breeding. But all they have to do is put some of those male bears together with some females and let nature take its course in privacy and they'd do fine. They bred for thousands of years all by themselves and did fine. Their populations declined only when the bamboo flowered in the 80's, which kills their food supply for up to 10-20 years until the new bamboo has grown from the seeds produced by the flowering and dying process of the host bamboo. So, the Chinese government stepped in to try to save the Panda's. They probably would have done better just to provide them with bamboo from another area and increase the domestic production of bamboo. But no, they tried to increase their numbers by keeping them in enclosers and mothering them themselves. After 20 years they finally figured out some better ways and now they've produced many pandas. But, they cannot be released because they don't know how to survive in the wild. So what's the point? Now China has more Pandas, but in captivity. Maybe this is because they use them as political pawns and even political gifts to other countries. The whole Panda captivity program is a sham and probably making millions. If they followed the general rules of captive to wild release programs that most wildlife centers follow, there would be more wild panda's rather than captive ones. I'm glad you covered this and brought some light to this very problem.

[@seanrafferty6752]

Is this true? Grass is notorious for growing vegetatively. Does this type of bamboo not do that? I'm sure there are details I'm missing here.

[@Atlanube]

Disagree with you and those with thumb up, near extinction animals are well protected like other countries and organizations are doing now, pandas only rely on special bamboo food, if nobody aware the growing less bamboo vegetation, these pandas may suddenly extinct, some more you guys should know how aggressive and desperate these Chinese are, especially towards hunting valuable pandas for money.

[@stephanglo8234]

that's so sad for the poor female pandas!

[@Moonstone-Redux]

​@@seanrafferty6752There are boom and bust cycles when it comes to bamboo just as the OP mentions. Incidentally it is these boom and bust cycles that made chickens the way they are and why we eventually domesticated them. Because chickens have a shorter lifespan, they reproduce extra fast in the bust times (because when bamboo go bust they scatter huge amounts of seeds called bamboo rice) so that their population can all ride out the boom times (once the bamboo rice germinate there is way less food for the chickens). So humans see this and figure that if they just give the chickens extra food all the time the chickens will keep laying eggs.

[@HollieMoodie]

So the female wants two males to fight over her and gets horny over the winner. I know some humans like that.

Actually, the polar bear is moving and adapting very, although unexpectedly, well to loss of some ice. Also, Ice build-up is increasing in areas in the Arctic while decreasing in other areas. Some years, they have had huge increases in ice.

[@deplorablecovfefe9489]

They are just adapting into Brown bears, slowly, painfully, but they are gradually taking up similar traits and behaviors. They have a good chance of not going extinct as much as becoming a different species...They have already found several Brown/Polar Bear Hybrids in the wild...

[@juliandacosta6841]

The increase in some areas is probably because of the way currents work. One place will get hotter, which displaces all the cold water/air, which causes another place to get all the cold water/air. But if you do the math it's a net increase in temperature, the hotter area will almost always increase more than the other area decreases. If you look at a map you can usually tell which areas are connected by currents.

[@zachbase1124]

@juliandacosta6841 the ice build-up I am referring to has been long-term yearly buildup of ice. Your net positive temperature theory is not correct. There has been more ice gained over the last 10 years than lost. It is just somewhere else, and it is a pattern the earth sees except for its tropical maximum where it was tropical planet wide.

[@PaleoBasil]

It is actually the opposite - Pandas were doing just fine, and adapting to be better and better at eating plants. There is an ice age cave bear called Arctodus which represents something similar to if Pandas went uninterrupted - It became huge and muscular as it was able to get proper nutrition from plants as its gut mechanics shifted. Pandas were in the middle of this transition, and in the wild they could find each other and breed just fine, and had more than enough bamboo to be able to be picky and still eat their fill, and were the biggest and most powerful animal around so nothing could touch them. Until humans came around, and started killing pandas and clearcutting their forests. Then it became very hard to find mates, very hard to find food, and the once beneficial adaptation of caring for only one young (which means that one survivor gets excellent care and attention, r/K selection theory) became a detriment. If humans never showed up, pandas would be thriving and on their way to becoming big and proper herbivores like Arctodus.

This is a post i saw on a thread once its pretty fitting so i repost it here. Biologist here with a PhD in endocrinology and reproduction of endangered species. I've spent most of my career working on reproduction of wild vertebrates, including the panda and 3 other bear species and dozens of other mammals. I have read all scientific papers published on panda reproduction and have published on grizzly, black and sun bears. Panda Rant Mode engaged: THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE GIANT PANDA. Wall o' text of details: • ⁠In most animal species, the female is only receptive for a few days a year. This is the NORM, not the exception, and it is humans that are by far the weird ones. In most species, there is a defined breeding season, females usually cycle only once, maybe twice, before becoming pregnant, do not cycle year round, are only receptive when ovulating and typically become pregnant on the day of ovulation. For example: elephants are receptive a grand total of 4 days a year (4 ovulatory days x 4 cycles per year), the birds I did my PhD on for exactly 2 days (and there are millions of those birds and they breed perfectly well), grizzly bears usually 1-2 day, black bears and sun bears too. In the wild this is not a problem because the female can easily find, and attract, males on that 1 day: she typically knows where the nearest males are and simply goes and seeks then out, or, the male has been monitoring her urine, knows when she's entering estrus and comes trotting on over on that 1 day, easy peasy. It's only in captivity, with artificial social environments where males must be deliberately moved around by keepers, that it becomes a problem. • ⁠Pandas did not "evolve to die". They didn't evolve to breed in captivity in little concrete boxes, is all. All the "problems" people hear about with panda breeding are problems of the captive environment and true of thousands of other wild species as well; it's just that pandas get media attention when cubs die and other species don't. Sun bears won't breed in captivity, sloth bears won't breed in captivity, leafy sea dragons won't breed in captivity, Hawaiian honeycreepers won't breed in captivity, on and on. Lots and lots of wild animals won't breed in captivity. It's particularly an issue for tropical species since they do not have rigid breeding seasons and instead tend to evaluate local conditions carefully - presence of right diet, right social partner, right denning conditions, lack of human disturbance, etc - before initiating breeding. • ⁠Pandas breed just fine in the wild. Wild female pandas produce healthy, living cubs like clockwork every two years for their entire reproductive careers (typically over a decade). • ⁠Pandas also do just fine on their diet of bamboo, since that question always comes up too. They have evolved many specializations for bamboo eating, including changes in their taste receptors, development of symbiosis with lignin-digesting gut bacteria (this is a new discovery), and an ingenious anatomical adaptation (a "thumb" made from a wrist bone) that is such a good example of evolutionary novelty that Stephen Jay Gould titled an entire book about it, The Panda's Thumb. They represent a branch of the ursid family that is in the middle of evolving some incredible adaptations (similar to the maned wolf, a canid that's also gone mostly herbivorous, rather like the panda). Far from being an evolutionary dead end, they are an incredible example of evolutionary innovation. Who knows what they might have evolved into if we hadn't ruined their home and destroyed what for millions of years had been a very reliable and abundant food source. • ⁠Yes, they have poor digestive efficiency (this always comes up too) and that is just fine because they evolved as "bulk feeders", as it's known: animals whose dietary strategy involves ingestion of mass quantities of food rather than slowly digesting smaller quantities. Other bulk feeders include equids, rabbits, elephants, baleen whales and more, and it is just fine as a dietary strategy - provided humans haven't ruined your food source, of course. • ⁠Population wise, pandas did just fine on their own too (this question also always comes up) before humans started destroying their habitat. The historical range of pandas was massive and included a gigantic swath of Asia covering thousands of miles. Genetic analyses indicate the panda population was once very large, only collapsed very recently and collapsed in 2 waves whose timing exactly corresponds to habitat destruction: the first when agriculture became widespread in China and the second corresponding to the recent deforestation of the last mountain bamboo refuges. • ⁠The panda is in trouble entirely because of humans. Honestly I think people like to repeat the "evolutionary dead end" myth to make themselves feel better: "Oh, they're pretty much supposed to go extinct, so it's not our fault." They're not "supposed" to go extinct, they were never a "dead end," and it is ENTIRELY our fault. Habitat destruction is by far their primary problem. Just like many other species in the same predicament - Borneo elephants, Amur leopard, Malayan sun bears and literally hundreds of other species that I could name - just because a species doesn't breed well in zoos doesn't mean they "evolved to die"; rather, it simply means they didn't evolve to breed in tiny concrete boxes. Zoos are extremely stressful environments with tiny exhibit space, unnatural diets, unnatural social environments, poor denning conditions and a tremendous amount of human disturbance and noise. tl;dr - It's normal among mammals for females to only be receptive a few days per years; there is nothing wrong with the panda from an evolutionary or reproductive perspective, and it's entirely our fault that they're dying out. /rant. Edit: OP did not say anything wrong but other comments were already veering into the "they're trying to die" bullshit and it pissed me off. (Sorry for the swearing - it's just so incredibly frustrating to see a perfectly good species going down like this and people just brushing them off so unjustly) Also - I am at a biology conference (talking about endangered species reproduction) and have to jump on a plane now but can answer any questions tomorrow.

I'm glad that you actually stood up for the panda. People tend to forget that pandas started dying out because of land clearing, not because they "suck at life". I mean think about it, pandas survived up until today. *Edit:* God I wish there was a way to mute replies to comments, I'm tired of the same "no they do suck" comment over and over again. Pandas didn't become endangered and threatened because they suddenly and magically decided to fail at life, pandas have survived for millions of years because they have adapted to their ecological niche. The reason pandas became endangered is because, just like so, so, *SO,* many animals, their population was impacted by human activity, especially habitat destruction. Just like gorillas, elephants, orangutangs, tigers, Celebes crested macaques, rhinoceroses, spix's macaws, javan leopards and so many other animals, *when you destroy the habitat of an animal, its population declines.* It is a very simple correlation that so many people understand the moment literally any other animal is bought up, but *animals generally do not react well to their habitats being destroyed.*

There are actually two subspecies of panda, the one in Sichuan is much more fit than the one in Qinling. And the latter is more ancient and isolated. They look different as well if you look close enough.For example, the Qinling subset has more flat facial structure, they look more cat-ish than the Sichuan subset which look more bear-ish. 'Panda' in Chinese means literally 'bear-cat'. And the two subsets hadn't met each other for thousands or even millions of years until human involved. Reaserches have shown that some important reproductive genes have been lost in the Qinling subset. During the early years, we didn't recognize the two distinct subsets, and often hybridize them, it has very much contributed to the difficulty of propagation for pandas in captivity.

They are just like mixed race of people, or something like a mix breed of German shepard and Labrador retriever. And they are both valuable, for academical purposes or otherwise. I would argue that it's even more so for the Qinling subset，or “the donkey” if you prefer. As they are more ancient, more valuable for evolutionary geneticists. Species like the giant panda are sometimes refered as 'living fossils'.
