Reproduction of
Red Pandas
Red Pandas reach sexual maturity from 18 to
20 months.
They relate with one another during the
mating period even though these creatures
are solitary animals.
To attract the females with scent, the male
pandas rub their genital on trees.
Sometimes the female red panda also attract
the males with her scent and sound.
Both male and female red pandas go their
separate ways after the mating period is over.
 Their pregnancy period is about 134 days ( about 5 months).
 Females begin to build a nest in hallow trees or dens from
leaves, sticks and dry grass.
 A female red panda gives birth to an average of 1 to 4 cubs,
baby red panda.
 Mother panda takes care of her young cubs until about 90
days.
 During the period, the cubs do not leave their nest until after
about 3 months.
Population
Approximately 4,900 Red
Panda individuals were lost
between the years of 2001
and 2016, almost one third of
the original population.
Overall, on average around
300 individuals are lost
annually, should the current
population decline continue
the species could be extinct by
2065 if not earlier.
