Giant Pandas - Gengda Valley, Sichuan, China

Giant pandas move between grassy yards, wooden climbing structures and shallow pools at Shenshuping Panda Center in Gengda Valley. Some settle down with bamboo while others climb, play or stretch out to rest, their black-and-white coats standing out against the greenery surrounding the outdoor enclosures.

Set in Sichuan’s Wolong region, the center provides a managed environment for pandas in human care. The yards combine planted areas with structures for climbing and places to retreat, allowing the bears to spend their days feeding, exploring and resting within the mountain valley.

Bamboo occupies much of a panda’s daily routine, with long feeding sessions broken up by sleep and occasional activity. Younger pandas bring a more playful rhythm to the scene as they tumble together or investigate their surroundings. The feed may switch to labeled highlights when live pictures are unavailable.

Did You Know? Giant pandas grip bamboo with a “false thumb” formed from an enlarged wrist bone, rather than an extra finger.
