Secret Life of Pandas Revealed by Electronic Stalking

Giant pandas turn out to be a lot more social — and flirtatious — than anyone had ever imagined, according to new research.

The study, published in the latest issue of the Journal of Mammalogy,

provides evidence that the iconic black and white bears are not always

solitary creatures, as was once thought, but instead have rich and

complex social lives.

Caretakers there have named the pandas: Pan Pan, Mei Mei and Zhong

Zhong (three adult females), Long Long (a young female), and Chuan

Chuan (a male).

The pandas, wearing their new high tech bling, were released back into

the reserve.

“Pandas are such an elusive species and it’s

very hard to observe them in wild, so we

haven’t had a good picture of where they are

from one day to the next,” co-author Vanessa

Hull of Michigan State University said in a

press release.

Giant Pandas Love SugarThe GPS tracking revealed that the five pandas returned to their favorite dining spots after being gone for long spans of time, up to six months. This suggests that they remember successful feasting experiences, and return in anticipation of regrowth.

While the wild panda population has

increased nearly 17 percent to 1,864 pandas,

the bears are still threatened by habitat

fragmentation, human impacts and climate

change.

As for the male Chuan Chuan, he traveled much more than the females did, but

frequently came back to check on them. As he did so, he would advertise his

presence with scent marking, meaning that he rubbed his smelly glands against

nearby trees. The females seemed loyal to him, so the smell was definitely not

a turn off.
