Pandas live as solitary animals for 361 days a year and are therefore not herd animals. This is only interrupted by the short period of a few days when the female is in heat.

If pandas do not know each other, violent skirmishes can occur before mating, where they attack each other and bite and strike, therefore they live in separate enclosures at Copenhagen Zoo.

Fortunately, pandas are well-padded with a strong fur, so they do not suffer serious injuries.

The large panda spends up to 12 hours a day eating and consuming up to 40 kilograms of bamboo.

Pandas came to Denmark in 2019 from China and are loaned to Denmark for 15 years.

Pandas still belong to China, just like any potential offspring do.

The estrus period is gradually moving later each year, and is likely to start within a week.
