Panda's raising


According to "Shihchi Five emperors This Discipline" records, Yellow Emperor once raised training in more than 4,000 years ago "貔貅" (panda) was it helps in the fighting. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty Chu country imperial family hunting ground "Yunmeng Ze" "on the forest" park center also once Captive had 貘 (panda) with the the Qin and Han Dynasty imperial family hunting ground and so on the many kinds of wonderful beasts.
Overseas most early raises the panda is Japan. According to the record, 685 years empress Wu Zetian's once delivered a dialogue bear (namely panda) the emperor of Japan to raise for Japan, whatthe near generation of western raising panda was earliest was the American Chicago zoo, once raised a male panda in 1936 "Soviet Lin". Our country raises the panda early is the Chongqing beipei common people park (now beipei park) with a Shanghai trillion abundant park (now Zhongshan Park), once separately raised a panda in 1939, but the time was very short, the Chengdu zoo started until 1953 to raise the display panda. From 1,936 to 1997, overseas once had 9 countries, 12 zoos successively raised oversized panda 37, at present still survived 6; The home has 24 provinces and cities 45 zoos or the protectorate has raised 300 pandas, presently still survived more than 70. After was unremitting diligently, already develops the more reasonable panda date quantity standard, and had tried to find out set of raising management and the disease prevented and controlled the experience.

Panda's life present situation

The past 10,000 years, the human civilization development, unceasing invaded bites belongs to panda's natural territory, forced the panda to flinch lives in seclusion east the Qinghai-Tibet Plain in the edge mountain canyon.
The panda therefore can mysterious fortunately survive in the natural historical great change until now, possibly benefits to it gives way before difficulties, stands aloof from the world!
However the panda has at present been at extremely the danger condition. The 50's, its habitat has until now vanished 4/5, presently only saves 10,000 square kilometers, distributeswithin the boundaries of more than 30 counties. The population quantity drops to 1,000 below, also is divided 20 isolated small populations. This kind of small population along with heredity multiple losing, inevitably will cause the panda to adapt, ability and so on reproduction and to disease resistance drops day by day, will be easier enable it to sink into extremely .To the very danger. With such a small population loss of genetic diversity will inevitably lead to the pandas adapt, breeding and disease resistance, and so the growing decline, it is easy to put them in a very danger to.Artificial hunt and kill with the capture also poses the threat to panda's survival, because panda total dependence bamboo for lives, the bamboo periodicity blossoms the death, the bamboo plants the sole area to the environment in the panda is the fatal attack. The 70's and the 80's Mount Minshan, qionglai the mountain bamboo big area blossomed on once creates the panda population quantity obviously to drop.The growth of giant pandas
