Are Giant Pandas Dangerous?

Giant pandas are normally peaceful animals and bamboo-eaters, but they have been known to attack humans. Because of their size (up to 150 kg, 330 lb) this could be dangerous. This is very rare, and probably the result of some sort of provocation. When visiting the pandas, do as your guide instructs any risk of distress to the pandas will be minimized.

What Our Customers' Say

   Interacting with the pandas and helping the panda keepers care for the pandas was the highlight of this trip. Watching the baby pandas attempt to crawl and feeling the warmth of a young panda's paw is really "WOW"!    by Betty (October 25, 2010)
   Without a doubt, the holding of a 1 year old panda bear at the breeding and research center was tops and will be one of the most exciting moments in my travels, which began in 1957.     by Barry (October 8, 2009)
   My wife and I had a really great time in Chengdu. The panda keeper experience is excellent. There is a little work (the dirty jobs are done quickly and first thing) but the reward of being up close with the pandas is more than worth it.     by Jason (September 12, 2009)
