Panda Knowledge: Behavioral Characteristics

Giant pandas spend most of their remaining half of their day in sleep, except for half of their feeding time. In the wild, giant pandas sleep for 2-4 hours between every two meals. Lying flat, lying on their side, lying on their stomach, stretching or curling up are all their preferred ways of sleeping. Even when sleeping, giant pandas look cute. They are very flexible and can put their bulky bodies into various positions. Their favorite posture is to support their legs on a tree and cover their eyes with their hands.
The most adorable feature of a giant panda is its chubby body and slow walking style. You may think that an animal lives in such an environment, with sufficient food, no natural enemies, and no need to act quickly. However, it is precisely its slow and slow movements that enable it to preserve energy and adapt to low energy foods. They sometimes climb trees to spy on situations, evade invaders, or take a nap.
Giant pandas are good at climbing trees and also enjoy playing. The behavior of climbing trees is generally a way for the weak to avoid the strong when approaching the proposal period, or to avoid danger, or when encountering each other. Pandas sometimes descend into valleys and string into small villages or houses, using pots, pans, and utensils, especially circular utensils, as toys. After playing, they discard them in the wild. Sometimes they also befriend domestic animals such as sheep and pigs, and live and eat together.
Usually, giant pandas have a very gentle temperament, like a lady in a deep courtyard. When they first meet someone, they often use their front palms covered or their heads lowered to conceal their true appearance. They rarely actively attack other animals or people, and when they accidentally encounter in the wild, they always use avoidance methods. But once you become a mother, your little baby is sacred and inviolable. Even caring for and visiting can anger your mother, making her teeth and feet open and moving. Sometimes they also love to make modifications and other adaptive activities. You can straighten your body like a cat, extend your front body, and lift your back to make your body flexible and comfortable, or when you wake up, extend your front limbs straight and yawn. If you get wet or wade across a river, you can shake off the water like a dog.
In the wild, giant pandas usually have conflicts during the estrous season, especially when three to four males pursue one estrous female. Sometimes, females and males also engage in fights. In zoos, their fights are usually due to water, food, or a giant panda occupying a good territory.
