The reproductive ability of giant panda and red panda is different;

Giant panda:

1. Wild pandas live in dense forests. When they grow to a certain stage, they must mate and have children, that is, estrus, courtship, mating, pregnancy and childbirth. Pandas usually live alone, but in the breeding season, males and females attract each other and start various courtship activities in the dense bamboo forest.

2. Pandas belong to the multi-male competition. They have a small number of babies in their lifetime, and babies are not easy to survive. Due to the high specialization of giant panda's reproductive ability and feeding behavior, the population growth of giant pandas is very slow.

Panda:

1, red pandas usually estrus in early spring from March to April. During estrus, both men and women often make a unique courtship sound and often rub the external genitals on stones or stumps. During this period, females will also excrete odorous secretions.

2. Pregnancy 1 17~ 122 days, giving birth to babies from May to July, with 2~3 babies each, and occasionally 4. Because the red panda is very fertile, under natural circumstances, the proportion of the population is often that the larvae are more than adults, and the larvae are more than the elderly.
