Fun Fact: Not all giant pandas are black and white! A few are brown and white, but these are very rare. China’s Giant Panda Breeding Center is a panda daycare center, and it’s very much real.
The panda nursery is located in Chengdu, which has been the native habitat for pandas for over 4000 years.
The ‘kindergarten’ was created in 1980s, to take care of six sick and hungry giant pandas that were rescued.
They never capture any of the giant pandas but have successfully bred 172 fetuses, and 261 giant pandas over the years.
The caretakers take very special care and spend a lot of time with baby pandas.
Pandas are quite a lazy species, they love to spend their day, eating and sleeping! So, it’s best to get up early for a visit to the panda park, so you see them when they are active.
For some strange reason, Pandas like to lick copper and iron. So you’ll find many playing with their metal food bowls.
Watching pandas is always going to be fun. You can find the little ones snoozing, or the kids playing around with the toys or a group of cuddly pandas very busy in a fun group attack!
The pandas love meeting visitors and you can very well come and spend some time with them.
You can check their website for visitors’ information and any queries around opening hours. Head to panda.org.cn for more info.
