Raising giant pandas is also a challenge. Wild pandas rarely breed and are difficult to breed in captivity. Because giant pandas are solitary animals, it is difficult to gather them together, their mating season is also short, only a few days a year, if they miss this time, they will have to wait a whole year. .
Moreover, the reproductive capacity of giant pandas is not very strong, female pandas only give birth once a year, and the survival rate of the young is not high, because this animal is very clumsy in care. small child. Therefore, when kept in zoos, most of the time the young will be cared for in a special way by humans.

Giant pandas are a large animal, but their vitality is very weak and their resistance is not strong enough. This situation has seriously affected the survival and reproduction of giant pandas.
The eating habits of giant pandas are not conducive to maintaining their vitality. Giant pandas use bamboo as their main food, but bamboo has a high fiber content and poor digestion, which easily causes giant pandas to suffer from indigestion, vomiting or diarrhea.
In addition, with the disappearance of bamboo forests, it is increasingly difficult for giant pandas to find enough food. At the same time, bamboo and bamboo shoots are nutrient-poor foods, which easily leads to the risk of malnutrition in giant pandas.
The giant panda’s habitat is also likely to weaken their vitality. Human intervention and destructive activities have caused giant pandas to lose their natural ecological environment, and is also affected by noise disturbances, light pollution and air pollution to varying degrees. different. At the same time, pathogens in the habitat are also an important cause of the low vitality of giant pandas.

The health care of giant pandas is also a factor affecting their vitality. Giant panda is an endangered species that needs to be protected and studied by humans. However, due to the short period of giant panda protection in human history, there is a lack of adequate research and human knowledge of its medical care.

This environment not only makes giant pandas irritable, but also affects their health.
Although giant pandas have long been loved for their cute and mysterious image, there is no historical record of them being domesticated as pets by ancient people. This may be because giant pandas’ natural food choices, growing environment and habits make them more suitable to live in the wild, rather than being kept in a cage and becoming a toy. People.
