No, I lived in Chengdu, Sichuan for 7 years, the truth is you wont believe how many dead baby pandas herbal pickers found in the mountains every month. That's one of the reasons why they are endangered. Some pandas got a habit of ditching and abandoning their cubs simply just because they dont know what to do. Mom pandas accidentally hurt or killed their cubs is common too. To save those babies we need humans intervene to give them much surviving chance as possible

@@YoHoosierDaddy Actually in the wild, Panda mom tends to abandon the weaker of a set of twins, and only raise the bigger cub. Especially where panda pregnancies has about 50% resulting in twins and the other 50% are single birth. But there are also exceptions, there was a set of twins was filmed by IR camera in 2015 and another set of twins in 2019.

They may have less “intervention” but it seems like they are more like things to be studied rather than live as close to wild as possible like in China.

It did look like 2

The twins were born at the Wolong Centre, not at this zoo. That was just interspersed, to show how the birth of twins was managed. If Yang Yang had birthed twins, they may have had to do the same.

Feeding her apples is a way for them to be able to spray him on all parts of her body. The Vet was explaining that she wonders if the mother panda was enjoying the shower or was she just dealing w it bc of the apple reward. So, next time, the vet will shower the mother panda without giving her apples.

Nah, a dog can be trained to do what you want. A bear will train you to do what it wants.

Absolutely. I think Pandas are way cuter than dogs. :-)

The Chinese government owns nearly all the giant pandas on earth and American zoos will shell out up to $1 million a year to rent just one. The lease usually runs for 10 years and you need to have two pandas to be part of the breeding programme, so it's not cheap and that's why you have to pay so much to see them.

LOL, do you know how many panda bases in China? More than 10. Do you know that most of the staff working there are mostly graduates with degrees related to animal and some even with doctorate degree. And since panda are solitary animal, they will be housed alone and taken care of by one of these graduates. Then there are also many graduates that doing research on breeding, genetics, rewild programmes & on the wild panda population etc in of some of the research bases. And since the captive population has crosses 673 as in Oct 2021, the number of graduate staff needed should be more than 1,000. Just look at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, there are 24 hrs staff working in the nursery, and staff taking care of adult pandas, and there is also a vet group that take care of their health and there are staff that maintain the base and security etc etc. All these loan monies from oversea zoo only cover some of these expenses. Then there are Forest Rangers from Forestry Dept that patrol & monitor the wildlife, installing IR camera in the nature reserves to monitor the wildlife including wild pandas. And "China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Panda" with the Forestry Dept are also working on "Giant Panda National Park" , they will be building forrested corridors between various wild panda populations so that gene flow could be easily exchange among the various wild panda populations etc. All these loan monies are for the conservation effort of panda, & not for the Chinese government because China is the world 2nd largest economy in the world, Chinese government earns trillions every year for example China's GDP for 2021 is US$17.7 trillions, therefore these millions of dollars from the loan of pandas to foreign zoos is nothing to them.

It is about money but the money is going toward the chengdu panda research center to keep the panda population alive. Now pandas are no longer endangered.

They do that when the mother gives birth to twins. Pandas mother's usually will only choose to care for 1 of the newborn because she doesn't have the capability to take care of both. The other newborn usually dies in the wild. That is why usually take the newborns from the mom and what they do is they will give her 1 baby at a time and switch the babies thought out the day so both babies have equal chance to live. But I do agree that they do take the baby away from the mother early like after 3 or 6 months (baby pandas stay with their mothers for the first 3 years) for some reason (I can't remember as I watched the documentary few months ago..it's on KZfaq). Wolong is the first centre to have successfully raised twin panda babies.

I think they have mentioned that they wanted to keep everything as natural as possible and wouldn’t interfere with them till after second months.

Where you get this information from. I have watched and read plenty of articles about panda; never heard of this. What foster mom? I’m so confused!

Thought the majority of pandas give birth to twins. The mother can only care for one and let the other one die. The camp in China is to prevent the death of the other twin. Another thing, the zoo is critical to bringing awareness to the existence of those animals. I care more if I can see them in person then just watching them on TV or in a book. And it allows zoologist find a way to help this animals to thrive in the wild.

@Dave WA I agree. There is no perfect way to keep wild animals in captivity because that's not a situation they are even supposed to be in. It's all well and good for other zoos to take a different approach for their own research, but it's all thanks to Wolong's successful breeding practices that they can afford to spare some pandas and loan them to other research facilities. The drastic measures they've taken to keep twin-born pandas alive aren't perfect by a long shot but it helps to keep the numbers growing faster. If the long-term goal is to send some back into the wild, that's not a risk anyone would willingly take unless you have some kind of insurance...I just knew from watching how the comparisons played out in this clip that there would be critical comments on Wolong's approach and yet you just know that these are the same type of people who would cry foul if a twin-born panda was documented dying without any human intervention because the mother naturally abandoned it.

There's a reason they do what they do. They are experts for a reason, that center is responsible for baby panda survival in captivity. It's easy to be critical when you know nothing
