Are Giant Pandas Dangerous or Aggressive to Humans

Generally speaking, giant pandas are dangerous. Wild giant pandas are not docile. They are sensitive, but their nature is mild. In most cases, wild giant pandas will actively avoid contact with humans, but they will rise when their territory is threatened.

The captive giant panda, who has been in contact with the breeder since childhood, hardly reveals aggressiveness. But as the panda grows up, at usually 2 years old, its contact with the breeder will be reduced to prevent accidents.

Do pandas attack humans? Do they eat people?

Under normal circumstances, the panda will not attack humans. In the face of human disturbance, the panda will lazily escape. However, if you encounter a male panda in estrus or a female panda in the gestation period, you will be attacked when you are too close to them. The ancestors of the pandas are carnivores. Modern pandas occasionally eat meat, so their canine teeth are very developed.

The pandas in the zoo are generally domesticated, and they are much docile to people. But there are also examples of attacking people when captive pandas are angry. For example, there have been several incidents in the Beijing Zoo that people jumped to the panda playground and got hurt by “Gu Gu”.

Will giant pandas be gentle to the breeder?

Obviously, yes! The breeder cleans up the pandas every day, paying attention to the growth of the pandas, and strictly recording the weight of the pandas, diet and so on. Because the breeder is very intimate and caring for the giant panda, the giant panda is very dependent on the breeder.

In 2017, a video of a panda holding a breeder’s thigh became famous. In the video, the panda baby tried every means to hug the breeder’s legs back and forth. And the breeder smiled to it with a gentle gaze.

Are you curious about giant panda’s intelligence?

The answer is absolutely yes.

Although clumsy, pandas are very intelligent animals. Giant pandas are far older than human history. It can be said that they have been able to survive for so many thousands of years since ancient times, thanks in part to their clever brain! They adapt to the harsh living environment through their wisdom. In those days, life in all things was particularly difficult, and many animals eventually became extinct because they did not adapt to the environment at the time.

The giant pandas are different. They know that they have to adapt to the environment. After their constant effort, pandas changed the diet from carnivorous to vegetarian.

What do pandas do for the whole day?

Just like other bears, giant pandas spend most of the day eating and sleeping because an adult giant panda eats about 20 kilograms of fresh bamboo every day and they eat slowly. During their extremely limited activity time, they will also climb trees, fight with other pandas, swing and so on to enrich their lives.
