Raising Cute Pandas: It's Complicated | National Geographic

- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2016
- Giant panda cubs are adorable fluff balls that squeak and squeal. This endangered species is also incredibly tricky to breed and raise in captivity. In the 1960s, only 30 percent of infant pandas born at breeding centers survived. Today 90 percent survive. So, what changed?

In the last 20 years, China has successfully tackled three of the biggest problems holding the giant panda back. Through research and experimentation, researchers at China's breeding centers have discovered how to encourage captive pandas to mate, how to make sure the pregnancy is successful, and how to keep the panda cubs alive once they've been born. For mating, they found that offering the females a choice of mate as well as enriching panda diets leads to a better chance of successful mating. A panda pregnancy can range from 73 days to 324 days depending on the weight of the mother panda and conditions she experiences during pregnancy. This knowledge, backed by medical advancements in artificial insemination, has allowed for more successful pregnancies in captive pandas.
Pandas often give birth to twins, and mothers usually choose to nurture only the stronger cub, resulting in the other twin's death. Panda keepers have found a way to save this cub by "sharing custody." Periodically, the keepers will swap out the infants, caring for one themselves while the other is with the mother. This way, every cub has a chance to survive. When in human care, the keepers must frequently massage the gut of the cub to help stimulate bowel movements-as infant pandas are unable to defecate without assistance.
All of these factors have led to the spike in the panda's survival rates. More recently, the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda has made another breakthrough: It’s the only center in the world to successfully breed pandas and then release them into the wild. Five pandas have been released since 2006, though two have died. Before release, the pandas must go through a series of trials meant to test their abilities to survive in the wild, while avoiding human interference as much as possible. China's dedication to panda research is leading the rest of the globe in panda conservation.

They're so clumsy and innocent that they're endangering themselves 😂
I mean occasionally in Minecraft a panda Will just roll off a cliff
Nah, not entirely their fault.
Also due to human activities, their habitats get destroyed
@@Pratyush2124 well I mean yeah, humans do account for its depopulation. But do keep in mind that they’re specialist bears, they can’t really adapt into new environments or really eat other foods. Same goes for the polar bear, they can’t really get out of the ice. I’m not saying that it’s not o our fault, I’m just saying that they also endanger themselves with their characteristics.
your comment is funny and sad at the same time.. i dont want them to be endangered :(

Hey always they aren't getting anymore endangered

Sidebar: I am not sure on what your race, culture, gender etc is but you just stereotyped white people by saying they are racists. Btw i personal take offence to this because I am white and not racist and live in a country where the topic is a huge problem. Just something to think about if you want to bring up other people's prejudices
Random RUclips Watcher
Even if that is true you are basing your argument on something from centuries ago. Shall I say all black people live in huts then? Or that all Germans hate Jews? No because that is stereotyping and holding the past against a whole group of people in the present.
Please consider that I don't appreciate being labeled as such and actually take offense to the label. It is untrue in my case and in the case of my friends and family.
You are asking for people to be sensitive to your sitution while being insensitive to mine. This is irrational and counteractive.
Random RUclips Watcher ffs... even if whites did "invent" racism, all the other guy is saying thats its hypocritical to say ALL whites r racist. u saying that makes you a racist, if you couldn't tell. this is coming from an asian too, so dont pull that minority card on me.

He just went "eeaaaaahh!"
Ahhh!
Lol
Yahhhhhhhhh ♥
How this animal survived to this day with all it's shortcomings is a freakin miracle.
In the “wild” there’s no predators big enough to eat them & Pandas are great tree climbers so they don’t have much enemies. Their short comings are how hard it is to breed ironically enough
@@kaahzvi5820 Panda cubs are very vulnerable, even a weasel around 70cm can attack it in the wild
hi
They chose bamboo over other food because there was no competition. That's how they survived in areas where other bears could not.
They might look clumsy but they are very strong and have very good dexterity with their front paws considering they could easily break a bamboo tree and hold it in their paws. Tiger is perhaps the only predator in the area that could deal with an adult panda bear.
Baby pandas are weak when they are small but panda mom generally protects them until they could climb. They are very skilled climbers and could sleep on trees.
Overall, their only shortcoming is their mating issue.
They are the perfect example of "pretty privilege" ,their weapon is their cuteness that humans will do anything to protect them😂😂
Little that they know one of them would become the legendary dragon warrior.

Omg lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤚

Saving pandas and the habitat they live in also save many other species living in that habitat because there are many other species that also depend on bamboo to survive. Pandas happen to be the charismatic species that draws the most attention, but their charisma save many species from extinction.
