The Chengdu Panda Base was founded in 1987 with six rescued giant pandas and has since bred over 300 cubs. Giant pandas are no longer classified as endangered, having been downgraded to vulnerable in 2016, partly due to breeding programs like Chengdu's. An adult giant panda weighs between 220 and 330 pounds and spends 10 to 16 hours per day eating. There are approximately 1,860 giant pandas remaining in the wild, all in central China. The panda's distinctive black-and-white coloring helps with camouflage in their natural snowy, rocky habitat.
Pandas are most active during morning feeding between 8 AM and 10 AM China Standard Time, when keepers distribute fresh bamboo and enrichment items. A second active period occurs during the afternoon feeding around 2 PM to 4 PM. Cubs are most playful in the cooler morning hours. Summer heat makes pandas especially lethargic, while autumn and winter bring more activity.
