Pandas are pretty playful animals and they are most playful when they are young.

Still you should never approach a wild panda although they may want to play with you.

A panda would have to get to know you really good first and then want to play with you.

The panda does like to play with things such as toys, piles of ice, sawdust and bamboo with food inside.

There have been a few cases of Pandas attacking a human.

Although it's rare that Pandas attack humans and they usually have to be provoked to attack the human or someone has to be annoying them etc.

Between the years of September 2006 to June 2009 there have been three cases of attacks on humans from Pandas in Zoos.

Most Pandas are pretty loving and gentle though but you should never approach a wild panda because they may see you as a threat and attack.

Observe the pandas at a distance.

Some Pandas will kill their own babies if they are deformed or have other health issues.

Also some pandas have accidentally killed their own babies while sitting down as there was one panda that had accidentally crushed the baby panda.

Most Pandas won't kill their own babies though but sometimes they do.

Also Pandas can and do have twins.

Over half of the panda births do result in the panda giving birth to twin pandas so it's a very high chance that the panda will give birth to twin baby pandas.

Some Pandas only give birth to one baby Panda and sometimes they give birth to twin pandas.

Most Pandas and especially Giant Pandas will actually sadly abandon the baby pandas if she gives birth to twin Pandas.

So it's rare that the twin pandas survive unless they get taken care of somehow.

There are a few Pandas that are in a US Zoo.

The two pandas are giant pandas that live in the Washington DC Zoo.

Mei Xiang and Tian Tian are the two giant pandas that have been living in and residing in the Washington DC Zoo for many years.

When it comes to Pandas and Zoos in the USA it can be hard to find Zoos that do have Pandas in them but outside the USA such as China you may find more Pandas.

China has most of the Pandas but the USA has a few.

Most Pandas however reside and live outside the USA.

China is the country where most of the Pandas live and wild pandas live only in remote, mountainous regions in central China.

China is where most Pandas live because of the high bamboo forests which are cool and wet which is just how the pandas like it.
